So it's a carryover from DotA where there literally was a fountain where you spawned.

It could be because it’s afountain of life?

Just one of MANY things this game stole from DotA.

Just be glad they got rid of all the complicated stuff so this game could appeal to a more casual audience than DotA/DotA2.

EXACTLY that got my mind thinking.

It's called a fountain because the game was created roughly using the original DOTA's gameplay. In DOTA they were actual healing fountains, and League players just stuck with the tradition of calling it a fountain.
