After Lich's Chain Frost is cast, is there a range limitation to the projectile? i.e. does it disappear if the opponent blinks away/haste etc..

After hitting a target, the projectile will search within an 850 AoE and bounce to one of those. If there are no targets within 850 range, Chain Frost stops.


I am asking about BEFORE it hits the first target. I have cast CF on a target in range and the projectile followed the target as they were trying to escape, I would say, >1500, before it began bouncing. I don't understand the mechanics behind that action.

Bounce range is checked after it hits the target.

There was a clip in a WoDotA Weekly Top 10 where a Lich cast his ult on a Wisp who then ulted home, and the Chain Frost followed him to fountain, where it got a triple kill.

Yup, lol. It hits the creep, then has nowhere to bounce with so stops, so you have to try and cast your ultis well. ^^

Under the "Watch" tab from the main menu, look at Replays rather than Live Games, and then filter for games you were in.

Basically yes I think.
Here's a playdota guide that I think for the most part is still relevant except for the very specific parts about the war3 engine.

Thanks for the link, I'll give it a read.

And I'm not goon enough yet I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and learn some characters before I do anything.



EDIT: Alright, from what I've gathered I lane up to level 3-4 and then, if my partner can solo lane, I go out and roam with boots + bottle and just keep roaming throughout?

How come nobody picked puck a year ago in dota1, now he's being first banned in dota1 games? I understand he's a good team fight hero/initiator, but he always was.
