Puck can't wave clear, 99% of mids at the moment possess the ability to blast out the lane creeps and then clear a jungle camp inbetween waves which accelerates their farm drastically compared to any mid which can't. Basically, Puck is too poor a mid hero. It wouldn't surprise me if it ends up becoming a fourth position support hero.

What?

Puck's ability to clear waves quickly is categorically better than QoPs or DKs, and is better than Storm's, TA's, or Ember's throughout the entirety of laning, when they don't have major items yet.

Of the common mid heroes (ignoring Lesh cuz he's never not banned), only Lina and SF are better at clearing waves quickly than he is, and many of the others are significantly worse. That's not really in any way why he isn't picked, nor is his ability to lane.

Is the Bloodseeker immortal the only trade-frozen item from the current chests? Nothing else shows a trade restriction.

Doing the math indicates that .1s isn't long enough anywhere in the middle of the cone. However, it can still avoid the moving AoE via invulnerability at the far edge of the cone, and the mirror image's random horizontal displacement means you can avoid it near the side edges if you're lucky.

A perfectly timed Burrow Strike on the other hand can avoid Sonic Wave at all levels by displacing SK entirely through the damaging part of the wave. The wave is at most 450 units thick and level 1 Burrow Strike only travels 350 units, but the wave's trailing edge moves about 235 units during the Burrow Strike invulnerability.

(E)Oops, the wave is actually 900 units thick, but will be smaller when you start the burrow strike, and is is effectively even thinner thanks to the Doppler effect. I think it's at most 574 thick when the Burrow Strike starts, and the trailing edge moves 238 units, so the burrow strike needs to travel 336 units directly into the wave to avoid it - barely within the capability of a level 1 burrow strike. If it's thicker than 574, it's also late enough in the wave that the burrow strike will outlast it.

(E2)...except Sand King himself is more than 14 units thick. So there's a small spot in the AoE where it can't be dodged by level 1 burrow strike.

Of course, you can dodge the Sonic Wave with Burrow Strike more easily by just using it to leave the AoE.

SK stun travels 200 distance during manta and has 300 diameter. So you can't manta dodge it at all when you're near the center, but can at the ends because it appears/disappears with you inside the radius, or unreliably near the side edges (due to random displacement).

Draft tab > Select tournament, select date range, select Team 1 (leave Team 2 blank).

CDEC played 10 games in the Main Event. They picked 22 different heroes and banned 21. (out of 32)

-- Top picks: Lina 6, PL 6, Wyvern 4, DS 4, Tusk 4
-- Top bans: Lesh 6, Naga 6, Techies 6, Ember 4

EG played 13 games in the Main Event. They picked 31 different heroes and banned 27. (out of 38)

-- Top picks: Gyro 4, Lina 4, Clock 4, Razor 4
-- Top bans: Gyro 7, BH 7, DS 4, Brood 4

If you want to include the Group stage or Wildcard, just change the dates.

Diffusal is no longer an orb effect.

Diffusal isn't a UAM anymore.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

So to answer your question: Yes it stacks, because Diffu isn't an Orb.

And it also stacks with Lifesteal

This is by no means a simple question but no category I could find said "general strategy discussion" or anything like that so this was the closest thing and it is a noob question lol. It's regarding an oracle combo that I don't know if possible or a good idea. One combo I'm curious about and haven't tested is using false promise on an ally who has blade mail. Think about it. That's nine seconds of people smacking him with a blade mail on. Let's face it. Any enemy that knows false promise will focus him down because if they don't, he'll get the double heal usually from a mech and/or urn and survive. Epic bonus if you toss it on a low hp huskar or anyone with kick ass spell resistance. Or in a "he's my inns make it anyway" scenario, use oracles spell that grants 100% spell resistance but amplifie physical and lure damage. At that point that's extra damage the enemy right clickers are taking. If they don't right click, your ally survives and has extra time to bash the enemy face in

False Promise doesn't work with Blademail in DotA 2. They technically take no actual damage, so it doesn't cause any damage to be reflected. Same with Abaddon Blademail.

These both worked in DotA 1 because damage prevention skills work differently.
