Dota – How does Dota 2’s “Watch highlights” Replay pick the highlights

dota-2

Sometimes you can select something like "Watch highlights" of a Dota 2 replay.

One day I made a Rampage (killed five people at once) with Techies' Remote Mines, and I thought about watching the replay using the watch highlights function. It showed some boring tower fights—I mean one guy pushing a non defended tower, for example. My Rampage (Pentakill for our LoL players) was not part of it.

How are the highlights selected by Dota 2? Does anybody know this?

Given that Techies is a new hero and his kills are pretty much all remotely done : it didn't show on the highlights. Highlights have an algorithm that shows kills when there are more than 2 heroes involved like 2vs1 (gank) or more (team fight). Highlights also shows tower kills, Roshan kills etc. Its not that perfect but I'm 99% sure it's because no one in your team was involved in the rampage.
