Doom is definitely still around, he still counters several heroes pretty hard, the most notable being ember

You get stunned at the start of necro's ult, so I don't think that's even possible. Now that you mention it though, I want to know what happens if right after necro ults you, you get Press the Attack or Aphotic Shield put on you, and you euls yourself... (Do those skills even break the necro stun?)

By the time the scythe sound starts, the spell is already cast. It has no projectile so once that happens you're stunned. There's no delay for the spell effect as some people believe, it's just that the damage happens when the stun ends--the stun itself is instant.

Does the damage amplification from Orchid and Ancient Seal also amplify Magical Damage?

Orchid deals bonus damage at the end of the duration based on how much damage the target took during the duration, any kind of damage will do AFAIK. And ancient seal only amplifies magical damage.
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!

But how does ancient seal actually behave? Does it reduce magic resistance, or does it just amplify magic damage? Or is there really no difference between the two.

i dont think anything in the game actually reduces magic resistance, everything just amps magic dmg. its kinda the same anyway.

reducing 25% magic resistance wud be the same as amping 33% magic dmg in a mathematical sense.

because of how the math works thats only true if theres an instance of exactly 25% magic resistance to "remove". Which works great on every hero except meepo and visage.

In the case of meepo, for example, assuming no extra magic resistance a 33% amp results in (1*0.65*1.33)=~86.5% damage taken, or still 13.5% resistance so he only "lost" 21.5% resistance not 25%.

but yeah there are only 2 exceptions.

But it can hit units which you can't currently see, as long as they aren't invisible. Also, with cleave you will still hit invisible units, but I have the feeling techies' mines aren't affected by cleave (have to be killed individually). I could be wrong though, I usually don't walk up to techies' mines as ember and start rightclicking

Technically structures are also units--they're assigned the "townhall" type which gives them their corresponding properties.

Remote Mines, Stasis Traps, and Land Mines have the "ward" type which gives them the properties of a ward. They're not structures. They also have the Marker ability which renders them unaffected by certain triggered effects.
