Fascinating! I wonder if the distribution is engineered like that to avoid specious cheating claims. E.g. Player:"Look at this video of Famous_Player getting 3 crits in a row! They're probably cheating!" So much potential for fallacies; Gambler's Fallacy, Silent Evidence Fallacy..

Nah, Icefrog doesn't make decisions like that. It's all about what makes the game more fun.

Ah yes, I meant to say "In addition to" the reasons you stated.

There isn't really a possibility to cheat game mechanics in those sort of games thankfully since things like critical hits are all handled server side.
