How does the Item Drop System work in DoTA2 as of the Oracle Update

How does the Item Drop System work in DoTA2 as of the Oracle Update - Old gear wheel covered with rust

I have been almost always getting no items when I play ranked matches. I checked the wiki and there isn't any helpful information about how the drop system works. Can someone explain why I'm not getting any drops?

Thanks, ~Colossal

OK, so we don't know the actual reason as that would be drifting into the whole game dev areas which is off topic.

The drop system was changed on October 30th so that instead of being match-time based to game-time based. They also changed it so that instead of getting fairly frequent, common and uncommon item drops, you'd now get infrequent set and high level item drops.

This patch also removed getting a guaranteed drop when you levelled up as well.
