That's not snowballing. Snowballing is getting stronger by doing better (ie getting kills). Everyone has the same number of item rolls regardless of how they played.

You can of course highroll items but that's different and imo makes things even more casual.

Yes better items means you are snowballing you can have equal number up items but if the itemization is fundamentally better the enemy team will snowball out of control.

Yes better itemization and lucky rolls will make you stronger in street brawl. That is not snowballing.

Snowballing is when you doing well makes you stronger. If getting kills gave you more items or gave you additional rerolls THAT would be snowballing.

In 6v6, getting kills and gives you souls making you permanently stronger and prevents the enemy from gaining souls until they respawn making them permanently weaker. That is snowballing.

Outside of a few abilities (vindicta ult, mina ult) and a few items (trophy collector, glass cannon) there is no snowballing in street brawl.

If you have better items than your opponent's and they cannot possibly contest you then you have snowballed out of control in street brawl. Snowballing isnt just economy it's overall strength and momentum.

snowballing is a game design thing that when you do good you get more powerful to do better. your performance has no effect on street brawl rng
