[Duplicate] Rubick + Morphling's "Morph" Ability

[brolie3]

I haven't seen this addressed in any recent change logs, so I believe it may still be occurring.

In a game a few weeks ago, I was playing as Rubrick and used my Ulti on Morph, hoping to get ANY skill but his "Morph." Unfortunately (at the time at least) I got morph. I used his STR gain Morph and bumped by HP up to about 1200-1500 early game (!!!). Once the Morph ability was removed THE STRENGTH GAIN REMAINED. I had a permanent strength gain during the entire game, leaving me extremely difficult to kill due to my high HP.

Didn't seem right and I finally got around to actually reporting what I believe to be a bug (or at least an issue that was overseen).

I've been trying to steal morph everytime I played rubick too se if this woorked or not. Rubick doest rly need agi so get tanky would be awesome (if i could change spell and still have the morphed str) i thought. I think that they should remove this cuse I don't see any balance in this (sure u get low armor but you get so much hp). its same ass brood webs they dispear after change spell would bee OP if not. They should fix this (even if not a bug)

First of all, it's Rubick.

Second, it seems to be intentional, as this has happened more than a handul of times in official tournaments and obviously somebody at Valve does follow them. It has been so for over two weeks, and seems intended to stay that way.

Intended. Get some armor and call Rubick a "counter" to Morph. Not countering him but gaining a huge benefit over the entire enemy team.

we need some words form icefrog or valve developers. i dont really think it is intended.

What about the bonus agi/str morphling gets from leveling up Morph? Does rubick get it? Does he keep it?

no, since in dota2 the bonus attributes are in the green number(which i believe is different from dota 1)
however, i found some other bug related: when fully strength morphed it shows +6 str but +5 agi.

after rubick revives, it leaves +1 agi, but with -1% damage reduction.

No, I'm pretty sure the +6agi/str is a green number in DotA 1 and can't be morphed.

Woha, you're right. I just tested it in the latest English version. I thought it wasn't even possible to add base attributes (instead of +atributes) from a skill in WC3, since no skill I know does it besides morph (is there any other that does it in DotA?).

That's worthy of report, and I'm surprised the Playdota description of the skill doesn't note that you can't morph stats from items/Atribute bonus, but you can morph the attributes provided by the skill. (It does point out that you can't morph stats from items).

^i am pretty sure someone had reported this, but since it is quite a minor bug, it does not get noticed.

[blash365]

it's already on the sticky. and it's not a minor bug.

[poochop]

I played against a 3k hp rubick T_T :'(. still beat em though heh.

[shalafi]

it's already on the sticky. and it's not a minor bug.

He meant the +6str/+6agi from Morph not being base agi/str, not the main bug reported here. The "^" would have been nicely placed if it wasn't the first post of the second page.

[blash365]

also already on the stick
