yes, because that's a skill that acts on void himself, telling him to avoid damage with 25% chance.

The exact mechanic is that he heals whatever damage he takes 25% of the time. So you always hit him anyway, he just heals it back up. Which is why butterfly sort of stacks with him, whereas it doesn't for heroes like mortred.

Why can he backtrack AA Ult or finishing strikes then? AA ult prevents healing while finishing strikes should kill him before he's healed.

Is there any method to create camera locations like in starcraft? If no, is there a way you can hotkey a ward, like set wards to control group 2,3,4 etc?

Because it isn't actually a heal. It is a trigger that adds health similar to how hp removal would work in reverse.

If axes ulti works the same way it does in dota, it checks if the hero is below 3/4.5/600 hp, then does like 100k or 1 mil damage to it, which always kills it because you cant heal more hp than your max hp.

If they are below X hp then I believe all buffs on the guy are disabled, which is how it goes through shallow grave etc.

So why would you do lethal damage that requires removing buffs to the unit instead of merely killing it on the condition that it's hp is less than the value.

Maybe because shallow grave prevents simply killing stuff? Dunno

Axe's Culling Blade does 100 million physical damage. It works against backtrack because you still die as healing is capped at your max hp. 100 million damage wins against Omniknight's Guardian Angel. On the Dota1's site, Dazzle's Shallow Grave ability explicitly says that Culling Blade > Shallow Grave.

Not sure about in Dota2, but in Dota, the way to prevent laguna blades from being dodged by backtrack is to fire it off as the first spell.

:dota mechanics:


There is a kill trigger in wc3; that shouldn't be an issue. The only thing I can think is that it would make determining kill credit require an extra trigger, but doing a lethal blow that removes buffs also requires an extra trigger so ^_^

A kill trigger will kill an invulnerable unit. Stuff like that doesn't matter.

The "kill credit" trigger would have to distribute gold/XP appropriately though because I don't think the kill trigger assigns that properly. Even if they both require an extra trigger, I would think the way Icefrog did it is easier to code.

Unless we actively take part in coding the game or are wc3 map editor experts (which don't even really matter in Dota2), we shouldn't really start criticising how Icefrog does his stuff. There's probably a reason why he did it this way.

Where do you get the impression that I am criticizing Icefrog exactly?
