I tested it awhile ago. For heroes/units, minimizing the angle is most important. It's definitely consistent and not random.

Anyone know why this worked out:

http://www.jist.tv/watch.php?v=Spxft3Zg22piKyvC

It may be hard to see at first, but watch for Windranger's shackleshot. I'm not exactly sure how I dodged it, Dive isn't a disjoint and shackle's travel speed (1650) is much higher than the dive (1000). In the 1/2 second or so of the dive it should have gained 325 units on me and presumably stunned me.

No, this is the "Simple questions, Simple answers" thread where you ask questions about dota and people answer them.

Please respect that.

Can you give the replay id? It's hard to get a very good look from the recording, but my preliminary guess is that the shackle doesn't latch because there's really no unit/tree behind you to latch to.

The not "latching" isn't the issue. Even if there isn't a tree/unit for it to latch to, it still normally does a small ministun, which should have stopped this Dive -> Egg combo.

Yeah that's actually pretty weird. It doesn't even interrupt beam.

It either doesn't hit you until you're in nova (in which case the replay is really out of whack because the sprite reaches you around the start of dive), or it plain disappears for no reason.

https://yasp.co/matches/2382169501 is the match

40:13 is the listed start of the time of the teamfight.

Even slowed down & in game it looks just as weird, but maybe someone will see something I didn't.

i think what happened is that you started dive an instant before it hit, the projectile kept following you (since dive doesn't disjoint), since you egged during dive the projectile landed on the egg and did nothing

Shackle should be faster than dive though, by quite a bit.

Replay unavailable fyi.

I play quite a bit of Dark Seer but I'm sure unsure whether a 3+ man vac into wall is a big deal or not. Wall damage is minimal (150), so without any other AOE follow up from team mates it's really nothing right? The illusions die so quickly esp during the early mid game, they don't count much.

I'm asking because I've seen Dark Seer blink ahead in pro games and vac wall but then there's not much after that.
Best or nothing.

vac wall is pretty shit without followup unless you have an aghs and the opponents have some hard hitters.
dunno what game youre referencing but it was probably just a case of miscommunication within the team or something. a vac wall combo is not only useless without any followup but also extremely costly because of the downtime, so it was most likely a mistake from that team where they failed to coordinate their fight properly

the thing i circled is the shackleshot projectile, it never latches because it never catches up to phoenix before he casts egg

So right now in Manila major, wings vs dc, wings has dark seer, but the rest is beast master, slark, brew, and (the bird hero that summons two other birds as ulti). There doesn't seem to be any follow up AOE there?

they don't have heavy AoE but getting the brewmaster clap on multiple heroes (300 damage + 55% move and attack speed slow) can be big
also it can combo into visage's familiar stun (see (Wiki)here and here)
you could also get a beasmaster roar onto one of the vacuumed heroes to get even more disable on one target + knockback on all the other targets in the AoE
