Warcraft 3 dota version of 6.79
There was a quest to summon son wukong just like there was a quest for phoenix in 6.69 and a quest for tauren chieftain in 6.59

Would Lotus Orb reflect the AoE of an Aghs upgraded Finger of Death? Like when an enemy Lion (w/Aghs) casts Finger of Death on your teammate, you Lotus Orb your teammate, would the reflected Finger also be the Aghs upgraded one? Also, what happens to your teammates standing near the Finger target? They'd still get the AoE Damage right? And what if all your teammates had Lotus Orb, would it reflect the "branching" fingers back?

It works like linkens sphere, so only for targeted spell, aka it only works for the person it is targeted at. That person would indeed reflect the upgraded spell back at lion, but nobody else would reflect it and everyone would still take damage.

If linkens would block it then lotus would reflect it, basically.

He probably got 3 levels at once and then leveled up BH first with his '14th' skillpoint, that's what i think would cause this.

i hate to be a grammar nazi but after being able to only read posts for 3 months, you cant help but get annoyed.
can we please stop using eg, aka and ie incorrectly. seriously its not that hard to learn...

also, since the beginning of last year the amount of hours i put in dota gradually declined to a point where starting 4 months ago i just completely stopped playing. is the current patch worth me updating steam again and trying to learn the new shit? or should i just quit dota and play other games

Just to spite you i'll keep using it like that because people understand what's meant. ~

And as for the patch, some people love it and some people hate it, overall i've seen more positive reactions than negative reactions. But outside of that how should anyone know if you'd enjoy it?
Read the patch notes and see if it interests you, if it doesn't maybe you should just quit.

misuse of aka and ie pales in significance compared to dumbasses who use "should of" "could of" etc...

I sometimes grammar nazi in solo queue and like 80% of the time it's native speakers who make that mistake.
Probably since they use weak forms, in certain shitty third world countries you can sit in English classes all the way to university and never hear about weak and strong forms.

Still makes for cheap giggles when I correct someone and they say both work just fine and they'd know since they are British, goddamn sconemongers

I think the question is, does it reflect the splash, if you are not the primary target?

I see, so lotus orb aghs is a legit counter on any hero to lina and lion. Got it.

Honestly I'm surprised I don't see people on solo queue already doing that build.

I mean you ahve to activate the lotus orb on the right hero and it has to be that hero holding the aghs to reflect the aghs version
so basically no

Although I've lotus orbed an aghs lina ult back onto a lina who had BKB on and since i didn't have an aghs she took no damage, that shit was the worst
