    According to orokos r means reroll if that number or lower. since 9 leaves only one value and you exploded that. maybe it rolled the sub10s invisibly?

    Denying allows for a wider disparity in gold and XP amount between teams.

    Thus things can snowball harder.

    Like, this is very basic. I am not sure what you are getting hung up on.

    For all of the reasons I laid out in detail in two posts above.

    It creates a disparity that is local. It is skill based, and therefore you can do something about it. It is most relevant in the early game and if a snowballing happens in the first 15 minutes then you are losing anyway. By focusing on denying you are missing getting last hits yourself. It does not affect the global gold gain - only last hits in that lane.

    After the early game the laning phase is over and there close to zero denying going on at all.

    Does snowballing has a special MOBA definition?

    You seem to be admitting to the general game usage of snowballing "A confrontation win now makes future confrontations more likely to be won by the previous winner." You are also arguing that it isn't really relevant to the general game picture which isn't something I can comment on.

    Not really, snowballing to me is when one team is just so powerful that the other team simply cannot win any engagements.

    Denying is really important but only in the early game as you can jump more powerfully into mid game. But given the disparity of all heroes available this effectively means nothing outside of the first quarter. Something that can be tactically used to give you an advantage is not the same as causing snowballing.

    The main function is to close down early farm for carry's.

    that's a bad definition of snowballing that doesn't even make sense

    that's not what a snowball does!

    Sorry I left out the unspoken but completely obvious part where the snowball grows larger because they keep winning engagements. Better?

    it still makes no sense to only call it snowballing when it is past the point where one team just cannot win

    Yeah especially if you want to watch something other then the 75% League of Legends/DotA2, SC2 or MMO streams you are going to see.

    Twitch has become such a terrible service to what it used to be in the last 2 years its pretty sad.

    re-roll and keep? h

    re-roll only? use r, subtract the d value and take the unsigned value i guess.
