I mean...I guess? But what is the point of thinking of it this way when you have changes like the one to Primal Split and Sunder? The ultimate effect of changes like that is you now have spells unique to the hero which take a different amount of time to cast than other non-FoK/toggle spells on the same hero. I mean TB has cast points of: .3, .5, 0, .35. Here's a question to interject with: why doesn't the Dota community consistently use the much more descriptive CC categories of slow, snare, root, stun (etc)? Why do I hear people asking "is it a movement slow or just an attack speed slow?" Seems silly. The terms are out there. | ||

So Doom, who has a 0.3 castpoint, casting Doom, with a 0.5s cast time, takes 0.8s total? Also is there a list somewhere of abilities with DOTA_ABILITY_BEHAVIOR_NORMAL_WHEN_STOLEN? | ||

No. DotA 2 mixes the terms together, so 0.5s total cast time = 0.3s cast point + 0.2 spell cast time in DotA 1 terms.

All the abilities that the wiki lists as using their normal cast times for Rubick's Spell Steal have that flag.. | ||

This is about as weirdly implemented as I thought. | ||

People just say they have 0 total cast time even though it's actually 0.1 because in most normal situation 0.1 and 0 are indistinguishable. | ||

Quick question - how do you deal with Ursa/Juggernaut early and keep them from getting too big too fast? There is a period right after Ursa gets his Blink Dagger that he literally just appears and kills you before you can press buttons. And at that time he usually has Aegis too. I know this, because when I play Ursa it's exactly what I do to other people.... Noob level here, 2170 MMR. Thanks. | ||

Force staff / ghost scepter / euls are all very good items vs him. I think the best way to beat Ursa (who is jungling which he tends to do at lower rating) is to just prevent him from doing the first rosh. When he has aegis+blink as you said it's when he's really scary and if things goes his way he will just snowball out of control and win from there. Without the first aegis he is a lot less scary and around the 2nd one you will have items to fight back assuming you didn't feed too much. Also, learning how to initiate on him is also good. If you always let him blink in first you fight on his terms. Learn to be the one picking him off instead of the other way around. | ||

Atos (particularly good if you can spot him before he blinks imo), euls, hex; forcestaff or two will be very useful to push people away after earthshock. | ||

Oh wow, actually I didn't think of using my Force Staff on other people for some reason. Was playing Vengeful Spirit yesterday and trying to stun Ursa asap to save my teammates or Swapping then using Force Staff. Thanks guys. | ||
