[Confirmed] Winter's Curse and Berserker's Call

[8Bit!Liquidized]

Yo,

stumbled into another supposed bug regarding Winter's Curse.
In a Match I've played today as Winter Wyvern, i had an allied Axe, who blinked upon enemy Juggernaut and Ursa, casts Berserker's Call, both Juggernaut and Ursa start attacking Axe.
Before the Berserker's Call effect expired, I casted Winter's Curse on Juggernaut, Ursa who should now slap Juggernaut attacks Axe for one more Time, Berserker's Call then expired and Ursa (Who was still under the effect of Winter's Curse) was just running away instead of attacking Juggernaut.

Game Mode
All Pick

Things happened at 34:43 ingame time, when the Dire pushed the Radiant's middle Barracks.

34:44 ; Axe blinks on Juggernaut and Ursa, casts Berserker's Call
34:46 ; Winter's Curse was cast on Juggernaut
34:46 ; Ursa slaps Axe for one more time (confirmed by the fourth Fury Swipe on Axe)
34:47 ; Berserker's Call expires.
34:47 ; Ursa runs away while still under the effect of Winter's Curse

I've read somewhere, that Winter's Curse is superior to Berserker's Call, meaning that enemies affected by both spells will rather attack the unit afflicted by Winter's Curse instead of Axe...but since i've seen many enemies attacking Axe instead of the unit who was Winter's Curse cast upon, it might aswell be false information.

Actually this is about Ursa happily running away after Berserker's Call expires, even though both Juggernaut and Ursa are still affected by Winter's Curse, instead of being able to run away he should start attacking Juggernaut.

Going to try to reproduce this soon.

Thanks for reading.


Repro:
1. Cast Berserker's Call on some enemies
2. Cast Winter's Curse so that the enemies affected by Berserker's Call are within its radius
3. Give the affected units any order before Berserker's Call ends
Notes: An order MUST be given to the units and it MUST be given before Berserker's Call ends.

Result: As soon as Berserker's Call ends, the units will execute the order they received during the call.

Expected result: Units should not be able to execute the giving order and be forced to attack the Winter's Curse target.

But I had tested this before WW got released on the main client and it was working fine.. her ulti had a higher priority than call, but lower than duel and all 3 worked fine together. So it got broken later on.

[8Bit!Liquidized]

Yo,

thanks for the answers and the sample on YT.

Reproduced it today, Lobby Match, spawn Winter Wyvern and Axe for the Radiant, two random heroes (Rhasta and Anti Mage for me) for the Dire Team.
Max them out (LVL25, no Items recommended; if you don't max them out Rhasta probably dies during the process) and do the following:

1. Cast Berserker's Call in range of Anti Mage and Rhasta.
2. After ~2 seconds cast Winter's Curse on Rhasta.
3. Select Anti Mage and give him a move command to anywhere else (while he is still affected by both Berserker's Call and Winter's Curse).
4. When Berserker's Call expires, you should now see Anti Mage happily prancing away, while still affected by Winter's Curse.

Normally Anti Mage should be attacking Rhasta after Berserker's Call expires since he is affected by Winter's Curse, instead of that he follows every command you gave him during the window where he was affected by Berserker's Call and Winter's Curse.

I even made him Blink sometimes, but when the Winter's Curse debuff expires while he is in the animation of the Blink, he will just cancel it...could be explained by:

[...]

IF you do not give Anti Mage any command at all, he will start attacking Rhasta accordingly.

But I had tested this before WW got released on the main client and it was working fine.. her ulti had a higher priority than call, but lower than duel and all 3 worked fine together. So it got broken later on.

In addition targets affected by both Berserker's Call and Winter's Curse will always priorize attacking Axe over attacking the unit Winter's Curse was cast on.
Interactions between Duel to Berserker's Call and Duel to Winter's Curse went as you said after what i've tested out. (Duel overrides everything.)

Thanks for reading.

[bu3ny]

Yea, you have to order the affected unit to do something before berserker's call ends. It's just like that one bug when Axe turns invis during call.

I blame hats.

[bu3ny]

^ No, it probably was bugged from the beginning. It's not just "it has no effect", it only has no effect if the unit gets a move order before the call ends. I didn't try it that way (didnt think of that).

[8Bit!Liquidized]

Yo,

didn't know that it was considered a bug when Axe turns invisible during Berserker's Call, since there is no actual target enemies can give a attack order on, so acting normally but standing freezed in position made sense for me, thought about it as intended.

Thanks for the confirmation and the edit, I will try to follow that format for future reports.

When Axe turns invisible, affected units should walk up to the Axe's last known position. Currently, they will just either auto-attack the next valid target, if no enemy is nearby, you can give them 1 order, but that order cannot be canceled. After that 1 order, they can't do anything until the call wears off.

Berserker's Call + Duel bug

If you use Berserker's Call on someone under effect of duel, once the duel finishes the enemy can walk away even if the Call still going on..

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR3i7_N6ObY

[bu3ny]

merged threads. The problem most likely lies in Berserker's Call. It also has this same issue when Axe goes invis during the call. This doesnt happen with the other 2 taunts.

Winter's curse + Berseker's call bug

Match ID: 2785324738

My steam ID: 123677027

Bug Description: See engagement starting at 24:30. Winter wyvern gets Winter's curse on three heroes. I wait until the duration is almost over and blink in between them with berseker's call. Instead of attacking me, the enemy heroes run away from me. I don't believe this is intended, please fix.

Cheers,
Peter

Winter's Curse and Duel interaction

Haven't seen this in the last pages of the known bug list.

I just saw this happen during spectating a friends game.

Repro steps:
1. Spawn max level Legion Commander + Winter Wyvern
2. Spawn two enemy heroes, let's say Ember and Weaver. They are standing right next to each other.
3. Legion uses Duel on Ember.
4. In the last 2 seconds of the Duel use Winter's Curse on Weaver.
Actual result: Somehow Ember is able to move after the Duel. He is still affected by Winter's Curse and he is forced to move in the first direction of his movement command until the debuff expires.
Expected result: After the Duel Ember is forced to attack Weaver because of Winter's Curse.

Thanks for the merge, I checked the last 3 pages of the confirmed list and wasn't able to find it.

[fullbring3r]

Has it been fixed yet?
I've came up with a strange behavior in my recent game in match 3791696299.
Enemies who had both Berserker's Call and Winter's Curse on them were able to walk away freely.
Min 22:48 on Gyro, he was going away under BC and WC.
Min 24:40 on Sniper same thing.
