Hook of Pudge

[Soblack]

Tell me please, why not take a hook Pudge creeps that are in the forest, and are not susceptible to most of the magic and the same Roshan? After Pudge has chitsy hook damage and is not magic, and physical damage. I can cling Naix under range. I think it is necessary to correct the situation and make the hook could cling like creeps that are not susceptible to magic, and most Roshan. This gives scope in battle tactics.

2 Questions...Is my english bad or hes?So you want to change pudge hook so it can pass trough forest creeps and roshan?If its that then....NO!

[Kryil-]

If I understood him correctly, he wants to hook Roshan

[Soblack]

Yes, u right and creeps

[Soblack]

Hook is physical damage, right? If that truth, i can hook roshan as like a Naix in rage skill

It's pure

[Soblack]

Ok, pure. But i can hook Naix in rage skill)))

You cant hook roshan for the same reason you cant hook ancient creeps, there unit type is ancients not only are they magic immune but they cannot be targeted by magical abilities/spells. Same reason as Siege creeps are not affected by most spells because they are mechanical.

Roshan counts as an ancient.

Lifestealers rage is simply an avatar spell so it grants immunity to magical dmg/most disables not the spells themselves.

[Soblack]

Hook not a spell/magic.This is ability.

[Crowfeather]

A spell is an ability, Ancients may not be targeted by abilities. However they can be damaged by abilities that exhibit physical damage.
Also hook is pure damage this is magic damage which ignores resistance (It won't damage immune units though)

The only spells which can affect ancients are those that have no target like Acid spray or Stampede and exhibit physical damage

[Soblack]

But the hook is not aimed ability

[Soblack]

Interestingly it turns out that I can hit roshan indirect damage such as spell Rot and the ancients no. How to explain it?

[Crowfeather]

My bad ancients can be damaged by magical damage also then. Just not targeted. Anyway hooking roshan would be to op.

You just cant target ancients with spells which are skillshot/aimed aoe dmg doesnt count
If you want a more precise answer go ask in the playdota forum since there is where the mechies hide

You can still hook naix when he uses rage it will just not deal any damage
