[Needs Testing] Templar Assassin is Overpowered in Dota 2

[Rice]

With cold snap the stun only triggers on damage greater than 10 after reductions. Since she takes 0 damage cold snap cannot take its effect.

Thanks for the mechanics insight, except you are wrong.
Refraction is a dynamic triggered heal in DotA 1, healing however large of a portion of damage it can beforehand (capped by max life) and what's remaining after the damage is taken. The damage is not blocked, therefore triggered cold snap since it exceeded the threshold of 10. Since DotA 2 is suppost to be ported before changes are made, this is not small enough of an issue to be called an intended change .

well it's partially bugged then, cold snap triggers on damage greater than 1 <<<disregard that source seems outdated, but making TA takes 0 damage seems too much to not call a balance discussion.. the problem by 0 damage instance so far is Cold Snap, Ava+toss combo, life drain, list might goes on..

Also yeah, I'm not sure why this needs testing. It's straightforward as to what the issues are.

It a pretty generous label because the issues aren't "Templar Assassin is Overpowered in Dota 2" If I were a mod, I'd close the thread.

It's regretable that your post sounds like a butthurt vent rather than a real report because some issues posted are legitimate.

Afaik, blink is supposed to interact like currently as of patchnotes last test patch, but blash disagrees and he's likely more knowledgable than I.

As for the cast animation showing to enemies, that should be implemented, as it was part of the patch notes as well. If not then that is an issue.

I don't see how anyone not basking in oplanaya's glory can reasonably disagree.

Except he's right in regards to Dota 2. Stop being an asshole.

True story. This is more logically compared to Dota 1's behaviour. The playdota.com tool tip states that Refraction should block the Coldsnap damage but at the same time won't affect her. The wc3 engine was simply not able to fullfill that.

LOL. Can you leave my thread. Out of your 16 posts, they've been either false 1 sentence claims or have been Racism towards russians.

At least I stay on topic.

Dagger fixed

HIGHLIGHTS:
- Fixed Templar Assassin's Refraction and Pipe causing Blink Dagger to not get disabled.

If anyone has doubts about refraction preventing blink dagger usage, here is your answer. Not everything is an intended change, although some things are.
