Believe it or not you can create numbers greater than infinity, since infinity is just a concept. Easiest example is infinity x 2.

Harder example is that a statement such as D is in the domain of all real numbers and E is in the domain of all natural numbers. Both are infinite, yet D > E because it takes into account real numbers (whole numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers), and E only takes into account whole numbers. Thus for every two whole numbers there are infinite real numbers in between them. Making D infinity * infinity, and E only infinity (in this example that is).

Thus if pudge is doing infinity, and huskar is doing more than twice that amount, huskar is still doing more damage.

A full duration level 4 Sandstorm channel would do 6400 damage.

Also some clarification on the whole infinity thing I guess.

A single cast of damage spell, the highest MUST go to Axe. That spell alone does what, 99999 dmg or something?

you have to be under the threshold though, meaning you cant tank it (at least off the top of my head) but you can tank ice blast

Sources differ on how the spell behaves in Dota 2.

According to PlayDota in Dota 1 the killing blow is 100 million physical damage. Liquipedia says the same thing. However, Dota 2 Wiki says it does "exactly the target's remaining health in unmitigable damage". It's been discussed in this thread a bit but nobody seems to be able to state conclusively how it works in Dota 2 (not that it actually matters...)

Also, Ice Blast's shatter according to PlayDota apparently also does 100 million physical damage, and Dota 2 Wiki says the same. But again I don't know if that's true.

Just stop, please. You said about two correct things there - infinity is not a number, and there are more real numbers than natural numbers, even though both sets are infinite. Then right after talking about infinity not being a number, you start multiplying it by things. You also justify the idea that there are more real numbers than whole numbers by pointing out that there are infinite reals between every pair of whole numbers. While that's true, there are also infinite rationals between every pair of whole numbers, but those two sets (rationals and whole numbers) are the same cardinality - the same 'degree of infinity'. For that matter, there are infinite rationals between every pair of reals, and there are 'fewer' rationals than reals, so, yeah.

Regardless of how this debate works out, for me the answer is an agh's Lina Ult. The damage depending on outside factors like enemy health, or based on stat stealing, just feel a bit silly to me, and using a channel is just cheating. So my only real contribution is to remember to add the mask of madness debuff to the target.
