Among the things that are supposed to be dispelled by Manta but aren't are Naga's net and all of Venomancer's skills. | ||

If Valve hasnt stated it as a bug (link to bug thread?) it seems very reasonable to believe its intended. I dont know how many times I've read or heard that something is "supposed to" work in one way for no other reason than that it worked like that in Dota1. And Dota2 is not supposed to be Dota1. Either way, being able to Manta out of 2000 ticking poison damage on you would be completely ridiculous. The hero would be so worthless. Intended or not, it better stay un-manta-able. | ||

Venomancer was totally a fine hero in DotA 1 even with Manta the way it was. | ||

The problem being that Manta's buff removal is supposed to encompass both the Physical and Magical dispel classes (Naga's Ensnare is a Physical buff and is therefore removed by Ghost Scepter). However, DotA 2 doesn't properly distinguish dispel classes, so interactions with anything that doesn't fall under the Magical dispel class (i.e. stuff that should be dispellable, but not by Purge) has super inconsistent interactions with the other sources of Dispel. Naga net being an example. Skills that were fully converted from Physical to Magical (i.e. Ghost Scepter no longer dodging Heat Seeking Missile or Echo Slam) are intended changes. However, anything that is Physical typed and removable by Physical dispels should be removed by ALL such dispels. This isn't a matter of "DotA 2 should be the same as DotA 1", it's a matter of interactions in the game being logically consistent with one another. If you don't want the Physical dispel class to exist because it's too complicated or whatever, then take out all Physical dispels from the game. Otherwise, they should behave in a logically consistent manner with one another. (As a side note, Decrepify completely lost its Physical dispel functionality in DotA 2 and only serves as slow/magic amp/physical damage immunity. It's on the bug list, but has been there for ages and probably will stay that way. Personally, I think it's stupid because making the skill functionally different from Ethereal form doesn't actually make any sense, but the debuffs also stack in DotA 2 when they shouldn't, so who the fuck knows.) | ||

Entangle-based spells (the commonly referenced one being CM's Frostbite) are typically magical debuffs. The other notable Ensnares are the Dark Troll Warlord net (which does not properly get dispelled by Ghost Scepter in DotA 2 but DOES get removed by Manta--confusing as fuck) and Meepo's Earthbind (which likewise doesn't get properly dispelled by Ghost Scepter but does get removed by Manta). On December 04 2014 02:00 Comeh wrote: I wonder why they chose to not having physical / magical debuffs. Perhaps it was supposed to make things less complicated, but the opposite effect clearly is going on. I don't think they made a specific choice not to. They probably took it on a spell-by-spell basis rather than trying to follow the overarching rules. It probably ended up the way it is just like how we don't have the distinction between base/bonus stat gains anymore or why all the triggered heal/damage prevention interactions are so broken/inconsistent. By the time they realized that it screws with a shit-ton of things in game, the current system was already so integrated into the game that changing it would be a major systemic overhaul. | ||

Went Treads -> Vlads (for farming and lane sustain) -> Diffusal (for teamfighting, not sure how effective it was) -> BKB (was up against ET/SK/Ogre/Luna/AA), I thought the BKB would allow me to manfight but I just exploded. I did no damage, my illusions didn't live for more than a split second and even with BKB I couldn't do anything. I'm guessing ET's aura goes through BKB, but what else could I have done? | ||

bkb sux on an illusion hero u just tell them who u are wihtout achieving anything cuz if ur illusions die u do no damage anyway buy heart, use doppelganger to dodge bullshit, you can spam lance from outside the fight for a while if u die too easily. Post in the PL thread too if u have PL specific questions. PS: PL literally can't lose if they don't have an earthshaker-style hero, he's WILDLY overpowered. | ||
