The effect solves a named problem in the next five minutes and arrives before the related objective.
Where it breaks
Buying without a preselected use turns unique utility into an unused portion of the price.
Replay question
Which action became stronger in the first five minutes after completion?
Professional purchase window
OpenDota · 7.41eNot one minute, but the middle of an observed sample.
P25 and P75 bound the middle 50% of first purchases. This is professional-match context, not a mandatory target for ranked play.
