have you guys seen this thread

https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/99p3iu/damage_reduction_how_spoiler_beat_spoiler_with_an/

interesting points made about OG v EG g3 yesterday

I thought that dispersion was not a straightforward damage reduction like stampede and overload. If i got it right it should work like this
: Dispersion reduces 30% (since it works before damage is done). Remaining 70% are cut by 60% (i.e. 28% are left) with Stampede+Overload.

So nah.

Almost all damage reductions/amplifications apply in the same layer. There are some effects that apply in a different layer (notably Mana Shield and Coco's Rum), but Dispersion is not one of them.

That said, I think the poster is *way* overemphasizing how much that factored into why OG drafted those heroes together. There's too many other things going on in putting together a draft for you to be able to one-dimensionally focus on an interaction like that. Something like how Dispersion stacks with Overcharge and Agha Stampede (if Agha Centaur is even otherwise appropriate for that game in the first place) is super minor in comparison to everything else.

At *best* it factored into Ceb's choice to get Agha over other possible items like Shiva's, but there's no way they went into that draft thinking they were going to stack up damage reductions just to make an unkillable Spectre after being behind in a 50 minute game. In a "normal" game Spectre gets unkillable onces she's sufficiently farmed anyway and doesn't need 2 other heroes stacking damage reductions on her to get there.

I like how OG and Secret are reaching their highest TI performances to date not off the backs of star-studded line-ups but some of the quieter ones.
Stars tend to have a big ego, and you can't have too many big egos in your team, if you want to go somewhere as a team, because it is a team game. I told PPY this, and I like he listened, when he build this team and chose Ace, after so many iterations of trying to build starstudded teams.
