I'm unaware of any reason why it wouldn't work. Obviously make sure your hero is outside the spawnbox.

The fact that Torrent is a slow will fuck with the timing a bit, but otherwise it should be possible.

That shouldn't matter, IIRC you stack by casting torrent at 57.5 and the torrent lifts the creeps above the spawn box.

If spawnboxes actually have a vertical dimension my mind will be blown.

[edit] Oh. My god.

Just tested, they actually do. That's fucking hilarious. The window with torrent is goddamn tiny (like 0.3s) but it's actually possible.

I think you can also do it with invoker tornado, but I don't play invoker so I don't remember for sure.

Reminds of when in hon there was a miss chance while the target was getting impaled by the lion equivalent because they were technically on higher elevation.

from reading a reddit post it seems like you should face away from the spawn, cast torrent at xx:57 second mark exactly.
kunkka will turn first, which takes 0.16 seconds, and somehow the timing works out just right

Can you control where Omnislash goes via right-clicking or attack-click or any other mechanic to prevent the omni from running you way off target?

blink dagger works I believe, although obviously it isn't as much control as you might like.
AFAIK that's the only even slightly feasible option.

You can at least Blink Dagger during Omnislash and direct it a bit like that but I'm not aware of anything else.

Eul's on a target you don't want to jump to, or a well timed Force Staff on your next target. Still not worth it though.

Omni still hits euls'd targets (they don't take damage but you can still jump on them)

And I don't think you can force staff yourself (plus you face a random direction) so your best hope is to force staff an enemy to you, which is simply not worth lol.

My bad.

You can force staff an enemy away to not hit them, or force staff the enemy hero you're on to try to transfer to another enemy.

Is it wise to rush divine rapier in certain circumstances? Like when you have a defensive support and a good farm, can it be better to get divine as first major item on divine carries?

i would guess no
cause even with good farm you want some kind of item to make you tanky before you get rapier so that you don't risk feeding it away
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

You can do it on Gyro for laughs, but it's not the right choice.

If you have "good farm" on a carry, that usually means you shouldn't be taking unnecessary risks, because with a good start, your farm speed naturally increases and you get more ahead unless you feed away that advantage. Buying a Rapier is the riskiest possible thing you can do.

I would say that these need to be some very, very, ,......, very special circumstances, certainly you would also need to factor in the enemy lineup at the very least. If we keep with the theme of this thread, then the simple answer would be "no".
