Video games, especially competitive ones, do this to limit the effect of randomness on the outcome of the game, while still keeping the sequence of random events unpredictable enough to "feel" random and preventing simple exploits. DoTA2 uses a simple distribution based on the number of "rolls" since the last successful one - P(N) = P0 * N, where P0 is the base probability and N is the number of rolls since the last successful one[1]. It keeps both "hot" and "cold" streaks from being too much of an issue, although that doesn't stop players from cursing the RNG gods when they lose.
