Several hardcoded game timing constants lacked documentation tying them to specific patches, making it hard to verify correctness after patch updates. The neutral item timers were the primary example — they changed from 7/17/27/37/67 min to 5/15/25/35/60 min in patch 7.38.

Changes

  • NeutralItemTimer.ts — Export NEUTRAL_ITEM_TIER_TIMES constant and TierTime interface with JSDoc referencing patch 7.38. Class now uses the exported constant so tests can validate it directly.

  • event.roshan_killed.ts — Replace obscure 5*60 + 3*60 / 5*60 + 3*60 + 3*60 formulation with explicit 8 * 60 / 11 * 60 and a comment noting the 8–11 min window is unchanged since patch 7.24.

  • event.aegis_picked_up.ts — Tighten aegis expiry comment to reference patch.

  • event.bounty_rune_pickup.ts — Document why the 120 s cutoff is intentional (initial contest only).

  • checkMidas.ts — Note that charges === 2 reflects Midas's 2-charge rework from patch 7.38.

  • NeutralItemTimer.test.ts (new) — Unit tests asserting all 5 tier spawn times (normal + turbo), Roshan respawn window, and Aegis duration:

// Tier times confirmed for patch 7.38
expect(NEUTRAL_ITEM_TIER_TIMES.find(t => t.tier === 1)?.normalTime).toBe(5)  // was 7
expect(NEUTRAL_ITEM_TIER_TIMES.find(t => t.tier === 5)?.normalTime).toBe(60) // was 67

// Turbo is always half
for (const tier of NEUTRAL_ITEM_TIER_TIMES) {
  expect(tier.turboTime).toBe(tier.normalTime / 2)
}
