I though all RNG in the game used Valve magic RNG that isn't really RNG. Did this change?

iirc the only things that use true RNG vs PRD is SB's greater bash and LD entangle. THere might be one more but....i can't think of it if there is another.

Void dodge?

PRD

im pretty sure those are the only two rng's

The fact that it blocks EVERYTHING is the part he could not handle. The idea of bottle crowing and creep blocking bothered him too. And that its random. He drank the Riot Koolaid pretty hard back then, but has come back to reality. Mostly because he was a pro at MTG and then hearthstone kids started to shit on Magic for being all the same stuff Dota is blamed for.

Hm, I didn't know skull basher.

Interesting - I suppose its there because you would be hitting and not bashing during cooldown, which would increase proc chance for instant proc when it was off cooldown?

That's the mentality behind it i assume?

spell dmg as a concept doesnt exist. ur either immune to spells or ur not. it has nothing to do with the type of dmg u take from that spell.

this is also why some ppl found it so difficult to wrap their heads around octarine. they thought it only worked on magic dmg. no dumbass, theres a reason it says spell dmg and not magic dmg
