If you manage to sit at the pit and sloooooooooooooooooowly whittle away at Rosh with wards for >2-3min without enemy noticing they deserve to lose it.

How to deal with bloodseeker + zeus? We were winning, mostly due to the fact their bloodseeker was jungle but their zeus got his dagger, BS got some points in bloodrage then it was unwinnable, even with decent initiation zeus damage were too much for us to handle.

It does kill them if the damage from it does more damage than the heals he receives. So in most situations it will be lethal.

All are broken properly, as is Blink put on CD.

However, Heart isn't put on CD, Bristleback and Mjollnir Static Charge don't trigger, Blademail and Dispersion don't reflect damage, and Lifesteal fails to steal HP from the False Promised target.

Basically triggered heal/damage prevention interactions with "trigger on damage" effects are super inconsistent and the only ones that work properly are the ones they fixed for TA's release cuz Refraction would be super broken if they didn't.

Are there any general rules on which debuffs Manta style removes? It's not clear to me which do and don't get removed

There isn't really an obvious rule of thumb
the closest is probably "Most silences, slows and hexes are dispellable"
and then "Most stuns, AoE/channels, and transformations are not dispellable"
http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Dispel contains a nice list of things that do and don't get purged by "normal dispels" which includes manta

Things like abbadon shield, tide kraken shell and slark dark pact are not considered normal dispels btw.

I should also note that manta also makes you invincible for a very brief period of time and as such it is possible to avoid projectiles like assassinate, even if the ability doesn't in any other way interact with manta, or dispels in general at all.

Tbh dispel rules are one of the things Valve unintentionally made more complicated in DotA 2.

Thanks. And yeah, I was happy to see in the last patch that they made magic immunity more straightforward for when it prevents the damage and/or effect - I was sick of having to alt-tab and search all the enemy heroes to see which abilities BKB will work against. It stinks the same can't be said for dispells, but what can you do.

And yeah, reading that wiki page it seems like there are 3 levels of effects (weak, strong, immune) and 2 levels of dispel (weak, strong). It's just a matter of learning which is which.

you can't manta out of hex but sources of "Normal dispel" remove hex. Manta is a source of "normal dispel" but can't actually be activated in hex. If you could somehow manta while hexed it would remove the hex, but you can't.

Manta and Purge don't follow the same dispel rules, so I would be careful lumping them together, which you seem to be doing calling them "normal dispel".
