Slark can ulti while disabled?!

Postby iLost » Sat Oct 21, 2017 10:57 pm

Slark's ultimate purges stone form. Why can he use an ability while disabled? T.T

Stone Gaze: Any enemy units staring at the Gorgon will have its attack, movement and turn rate reduced by 50%. If you stare at Gorgon for over 2 seconds, the unit will become stoned for 3 seconds. Stoned units are disabled, have 100% magic resistance and take extra damage from physical attacks. Illusions die when they become stoned. Lasts 6 seconds.

Shadow Dance: The Nightcrawler takes on a guise of invisibility that never gets revealed for 4 seconds. This skill also passively increases the Nightcrawlers movespeed and regeneration when he is out of sight of hostile units. This effect has 0.5 seconds delay when activating and deactivating.

Sorry, Slark's first ability, Dark Pact, was used to purge Stone form -- still tho, why can he use an ability while disabled? : /

Dark Pact: Slark calls upon deities of the swamps to seal a dark pact. Sacrificing some of his lifeblood, Slark is redeemed of all negative effects. After 1.5 seconds, a dark wave of destruction emits from the Nightcrawler, dealing damage to himself as well as all nearby enemies.

So I guess it's possible to "call upon deities" while in stone form and, apparently, swamp deities can purge stone forms. meh

Dark pact dispels starting 1.5 seconds after it's used. He used it during the gaze slow, while still able to cast, then dark pact dispelled the stone effect 1.5s later.

slark can dispel most disables, including most ults including naga's. Slark probably has the least single hero counters in this map. Because Slark is so Slippery, even noobs can do well with him when they typically fail with other heros.

Ways to counter him are mass aoe dmg like TS, and silence. Many slarks play Slippery Pu$$y style of hit and run, so abilities that can prevent him of regen hp like sb, and Bloodseeker can help too.

Hmmmm I wonder if he can escape Enigma's ult with pact.

Black hole pull can't be dispelled by anything and pierces all magic immunity. You have to enjoy the whole ride.

if that is the case, the reason is different.

The effect is applied anew as long as it is channeled. So once pact dispels the effect, it is applied anew.

So why ask the question in the first place? If black hole was dispellable, which isn't the case, it would be a question of whether it would reapply its disable faster than dark pact could dispel it (every .1 second during 1 second). I'm pretty sure black hole would still win that duel, but it's irrelevant.

Black hole is bugged or something in this version. You are able to use certain items while you are being pulled in lol.

can be silenced even mid ult. also stunned by someone like leo/sven/lina/lion, can be dispelled by guinsoo or lion/rhasta... basically anything with a longer range than enigma's ult that doesn't get caught in it. so your comment is highly invalid

Black hole's pull (a debuff), can't be dispelled. It was first brought up while talking of things slark's dark pact can or cannot dispel.

Thanks for pointing out heroes can be silenced and disabled, incredibly enlightening and relevant, that's amazing, no one knew that.
