Ice Blast in DotA 1 had weird non-straightforward interaction with dispels. Damage/HP freeze was a dispellable debuff while the shatter trigger was managed with an aura that reapplied the damage/HP freeze if no damage was taken after being dispelled, but would go away if damage was taken before the aura sticky duration passed.

DotA 2 made Ice Blast straight undispellable because the original interaction was awful.

if you cold embrace an invis ally do they become visible? are the cold embrace effects visible but the hero themself still invis?
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

iirc, the cold embrace is more or less a debuff that holds the player still. that means that it shouldn't break invisibility since that requires a player to attack or cast a spell/item.

this is one of the reasons glimmer cape is good on this hero, not only does it provide magic dmg resistance, but forces the other team to use detection in order to nuke the hero before he gets healed.

yup. We are both from Germany, maybe they fucked up the connection there for a while. I usually have a 30> ping, but my game spiked up to 300 constantly. That was two days ago, yesterday I only played in the evening and it was fine again. My network was totally fine. Reconnecting didn't work for me either.

i'm not sure if it fixes this exact issue, but adding an exception for the steam folder to windows defender has seemed to solve some people's reborn issues

It does have a transformation window where you can disjoint projectiles but I don't think it's possible to stop self stun though because the self stun can't be disjointed.

It's worth trying out in a lobby

It was possible in DotA1, but transformation stun-dodging works very differently in DotA2 compared to DotA1. Mostly, transformations either lost their stun-dodging ability (basically all low-CD transformations), or became simple disjoints. Alch ulti is one of the latter category.

It does, I just dodged Magic Missle on the first try.
I'm not sure if you can dodge the self stun though. I thought I saw someone doing this successfully way back, but I can't reproduce this now and there's something about Concoction being an aoe stun and Alche not being able to disjoint aoe stuns in D2 (which was, notably, confirmed a bug two years ago).

u disjointed magic missile, thats all, and u dont even need good timing, just use chemical rage after the magic missile has been casted.

concoction is not disjointable by any means.

dont mistake abilities that disjoint with abilities that have invincible frames. some have both (like mirror image type abilities)

0-4-4, skilling as is necessary per the lane. Treads madness mael basher; if you're getting controlled too hard you might need bkb before or after basher. Abyssal, Mjolnir, MKB, Heart, Halberd are all decent options after that.

How does one deal with windcancer? I have had it up to my neck with the hero and need some advice. Heres the match.

Should I maybe have gotten MKB instead of Skadi first?
