Description
Neutral creeps have a 10% chance to grant a neutral consumable items to the hero that killed them starting from 3 minutes onwards.
The items have a duration of 60s after which they will disappear if not used (similar to shared tangoes).
The effect from the consumable levels up over time (same timings at which neutral item tiers progress).
Neutral consumables can be shared between allies, but cannot be cast on another hero.
Neutral consumables will not drop for a hero if their team is currently in possession of 1/1/1/2/2 neutral consumables (ie a team can only hold 1 consumable up to Tier 3 timings and 2 after that).
All neutral consumables have a shared cooldown of 45s.
At the moment, I have only 4 such consumable items and they are primarily designed to encouraging ganking/fighting/diving. However, more such items can be added for other uses too. Additionally, the existence of these items (along with this other Neutral Item Rework: https://dotaideas.com/post/other/55) can incentivize teams to put a hero in the jungle so that they can get one these and assist the sidelanes during the laning phase instead of remaining in the jungle.
List of Neutral Consumables:
Centaur's Club: Ability Bonk
The user's next attack deals bonus damage and applies a 100% movement/attack speed slow. Also grants bonus attack range to melee heroes for that attack

Barrier Regeneration Rate: 6/9/12/15/18

Note: Any neutral creep can drop any consumable, the item names are for flavour only
Heroes now have a dedicated consumable slot instead of a town portal scroll slot. This slot can hold any kind of consumable items. (TP Scrolls, Wards, Smoke, Cheese, Dust, Blood Grenade, Mango, Faerie Fire etc).
Notably, Cheese/Dust may need to be nerfed since a slot no longer has to be sacrificed for them.
This change is not necessary/required for neutral consumables to exist, but it would make them much easier to use.
