To be totally honest, I'm not the right person to ask this. I don't follow W3 pro scene, though from the top of my head, from the few matches that I have saw, there were deffinetly no roots, fountains I'm not sure . . . @mafe could brings more wisdom to this conversation.

Dragon roosts: No. I can only remember a single map with a dragon roost in a 1v1 tournament, and iirc that was china-only. I dont even know the name of the map. Fountains: There were several maps with health fountains, but health fountains are considered to help orcs much more than other races (liquipedia stats for SV/LT/GW tend to confirm this). Mana fountains were never really tried, except as random building on TM. Not sure if they are a balance problem or not.

We need evidence so these would be viable in melee else content is lost...

I recently saw a match of Orange being NE against humans. there were 2 health of fountains near the tavern in a turtle rock patern. They used the health fountain at night wich was a cool game play.

Actually it would help the Night Elves more during the day and undead anytime since they regenerate on blight.
WolfFarkas
During the day, nobody goes for a red creep in a fountain.

No, I meant using the Foutain once it's clear.

With red creeps, hardly matchs reach tier 3. Pro users want to finish the thing fast, specially the NE, since melee beats magic because magic requires damn micro manage.
WolfFarkas
In a NE vs Human, NE win in melee in Tier 2 because of the bear druids against the blood elf magic / melee unit
