Still Backtrack is the most bullshit OP ability in the game then. 25% damage mitigation no matter what. (actually a bit higher, then, since it is pseudo random, isn't it?) | ||

There is a DotaCinema Video (fails, I believe) where a void backtracks, I beliee, 14 attacks in a row. Bullshot bullshit bullshit. And then he runs in low HP and dies to a Sun Strike. | ||

In a big fight you probably wouldn't notice it among other damage sources.

on a couple occasions i blinked well past the max range (since her blink isn't penalized) and one time i took dmg the other time i did not. what's going on with that? | ||

Max range Blink moves exactly 1300 units. So depending on where the timing of the 0.25s range check interval lands, you might take damage, or you might not. | ||

Or is it intentional? | ||

Well more likely that you happened to move perfectly straight after your Blink and didn't take a fraction of a second to turn in place (during which time, the range check would happen and deal damage for you moving 1300 units). So yeah, you were lucky, lol. On February 23 2015 08:23 eieio wrote: so is the fact that those bashes don't use PRD just an artifact of them not being hardcoded bashes? Or is it intentional? I would expect that it is an artifact of them not being hardcoded. Interestingly, LD's Entangle is on PRD in DotA 1, but not in DotA 2. The only reason I can think of for this is consistency with other CD-based attack effects. Which would hint to the current behavior being intended. | ||

any cool combos for pheonix aghs? like tombstone -> pheonix aghs -> tombstone maybe axe call -> pheonix aghs so you got 2 invulnerable heroes while they try to attack the axe | ||
