I also learned that using invisibility ability/item is possible while channeling anything (TPs/abilities). So shadowblade on WD/Enigma is legit, explains the shadowblade on furion too, etc... windwalk/vendetta while Tping. I wonder about using invis rune in bottle while Tping/channel spells? | ||

Anyway here it is: not all heroes have the 1800/800 vision for day and night respectively. The list is a lot larger than I thought. Very interesting on some heroes actually, and I guess they are small advantages/disadvantages but still. http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Vision Below is a table of all exceptions to the 1800/800 rule: Hero Day Night Alchemist 1800 1400 Ancient Apparition 1800 1400 Bounty Hunter 1800 1000 Drow Ranger 1800 1700 Enchantress 1800 1800 Leshrac 1800 900 Luna 1800 1800* Meepo 1800 1800 Mirana 1800 1200 Night Stalker 1200 1800 Puck 1800 1200 Slark 1800 1800 Sniper 1800 1000 Treant Protector 1800 1200 * Luna is granted 1800 night vision range by leveling her Lunar Blessing ability. Most of them are actually just a straight up bonus just because of lore-wise? Somewhat, but it's a form of balance on a lot of them by now I'm pretty sure. Luna is probably lorewise (and I think night elves had better night vision, thus why drow has longer night vision), but many of the others are balanced a bit around it. The obvious one being Night Stalker and the really high night vision heroes - Enchantress would be considerably weaker if she only had 800 vision at night (seeing as her ult relies on vision and that's almost her attack range with aghs), Drow's 1700 vision at night makes her a much harder gank, Slark needs the 1800 vision to chase. Why meepo has 1800 vision, no idea (net cast range is insanely long, I do know that but I don't play meepo). Heroes with >1000 generally have a reason for it, though some are outdated (Talking about treant here). Remember that 1025 is the smoke reveal range. It's going to be harder to smoke gank all of these heroes due to that. The 1400 heroes have abilities that are extremely long range (in AA's case) or someone picked it out of a hat (in alchemist's case). BH fits this category as well as track gets to large ranges at levels 2/3, though his night vision is shorter. Mirana/Puck both have two innate escape mechanisms, one of which requires them to turn. The extra 400 vision gives them time to turn and leap or cast orb. | ||

So that means you can even steal devour from Doom, get a good ability from creep (movement speed/damage aura), then steal another spell, but you keep the passive/active skill permanently? Anyone test? And how about Lone Druid's bear? Rubick can have that forever too. Brood's Web is also permanent and also affects Rubick. I wonder if the game will differentiate the webs that only work for the original caster? | ||

You can start spinning as Juggernaut while already channeling a TP without interrupting. Man that was funny. | ||

Legacy keys retain the hotkey for the stolen spell, so stealing two spells with the same hotkey would create issues. This is also why Rubick's spells have seemingly nonsensical Legacy keys--so as to minimize the number of spell overlaps--and why Rubick can't steal a few spells in DotA 1 (X-marks-the-spot, Tornado, Exorcism, X/Z Shadowraze, Freezing Field, Alacrity). | ||

I learned that ulting with a regen over a pudge rotting cancels the regen despite you not recieving any damage at all  That teamfight was no go after that experience. | ||

The only rumor I heard regarding a 3rd team for LGD was in combination with ZSMJ's new team. Also ZhaoYun is planning to form a new team with his comeback. However he already revealed, that it will be TongFu.int most likely. Oh and needless to mention, that iG has a 2nd team in the making as well. | ||
