Why do neutrals insta-cast spells on you. But when you dominate or charm one they have to cast animate their abilities.

I don't think this is actually true ^^


It's to do with the number of targets around them, right? They don't ever cast abilities if you're solo jungling (thank goodness), but if you pull or have a chen troll that summons too many skeletons, they seem to.

What's the actual metric? And is it still random or do they cast them asap if there's enough units?

Asap if there are enough units, pretty sure it is 3 in their range for everything (ursa/centaur/satyr) but for satyrs they will blast if there are 2 close together and the 3rd is way off to the side somewhere. Trolls will sometimes not spawn their little bros for some reason, if anyone has insight into why they do that that would be cool to know. I think those are the only ones that cast spells on you... but they still have to use their cast points ^^


Does anybody know exactly why/when he spawns the little zombies? Can make a huge difference. To me it seems like if he's standing still makes a difference and also whether or not he has to change targets.


Sure it's not just the ability's cooldown? I don't recall ever seeing him not zombify at least one of his buddies.

Almost certain, again haven't really tested this but I'm pretty damn sure there have been times I've been jungling Enigma or Furion and killed off the little ones only to not have my extra free CS spawn ^^

It happens the most when you kill a creep with an item or a spell, it will always spawn if you kill it with autoattacks

I've killed them with autos and no undead.

Unless furion is tping into my jungle, summoning treants, waiting for them to die, killing the now spawned skeletons, then tping away just to troll me, its bugged game plz fix blizzfraud
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

As a relatively new player, should I buy keys for chests? I have alot of them and don't know if it's worth investing in keys or not.

Oh do not do so. Items in chests aren't worth opening... Best to just trade for things.

Depends on how much you care to spend. You pretty much pay 2-3 dollars for one cosmetic item, which might not even be rare (I think, this depends on chest obviously). At the same time, you usually have a chance to get some pretty nice items (huds etc).

Personally, I'm cheap as hell and can't bring myself to pay for cosmetics, so I just ignore the chests.

Since S&Y isn't an UAM since forever i've been wondering, does it stack with itself with diminishing returns?
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!

No ! Was fixed a while ago


Good to know.

What are the mechanics behind the damage dealt in denying? I've noticed it doesn't apply certain things (doesn't seem to apply Luna's aura, doesn't apply quelling blade) but I'm not sure what damages it does/doesn't include. Anyone know?


Seems it doesn't apply passives. But I'm not really sure.

I would like to know if anyone can answer this.

I find it nice, for example, that it doesn't apply area of effect right clicks, life magnus', kunkka's, sven's, etc... Or auto cast passives live Jakiro's, but don't really know what does and doesn't apply.

Same with BKB.. if you BKB before the orchid is used, the orchid obviously can't be used (since it doesn't go through BKB), and once the silence is on, you can't BKB or Rage. Repel should work fine though (and also debuff the silence immediately I think).

I am pretty sure that you can bkb out of orchid silence since items are usable through silences. I think Orchid mutes items in hon but not in dota?

Don't say this.

I have at least one friend who came from Hon, and he is a nice guy and a good player.

How do you deal with spirit breaker's Ult?
We've tried to stop him with Omninights magic immunity+physical immunity cast on a hero with BKB active whilst poking SB with force staff, and he still stuns and deals damage. Is there any way to avoid it short of the worlds fastest TP?

Are there any items or abilities that can save you once you have identified that you are getting charged at? Puck's phase shift and maybe Ghost scepter are the only ones that come to my mind.

And how is it possible that his ult goes through both magic and physical immunity while being magic immune himself? What type of damage is he doing?
