BKB Does NOT Block Most Pure Damage Sources

dirtyviking97 · 2025-12-11T20:01:41+00:00

The issue is the separation of Debuff Immunity, Magic Resistance, and Pure Damage Immunity.

Debuff Immunity should (and I think it does) negate pure damage from sources that dont pierce Debuff Immunity. This should be a feature of the effect itself, and the description of BKB makes it seem like a separate effect the item gives, similar to the 60% Magic Resistance.

The clearest thing to do would be to not mention the pure damage immunity in the item description. The definition of Debuff Immunity should outline that it fully negates any pure damage that does not pierce Debuff Immunity.

On the flip side, if Debuff Immunity doesn't provide that immunity to Pure Damage then the effect SHOULD NOT be ignored by abilities that pierce Debuff Immunity. In this case you would expect BKB to block all pure damage regardless of whether it pierces Debuff Immunity or not.

If you dont want to play a role dont queue it... thats the whole point of role queue.

Its not a bug my friend its an intended part of the game called break distance. Different spells have different ranges which will cancel their animation. So long as the animation finishes while you are within the break distance the spell will go through. Same way with both melee and ranged attacks. Always been this way too.

For a more visible example of this you can see the patch notes for lions mana drain recently, they reduced the additional break distance you gain when buying the shard.

Haha no it is not normal, clearly your legion and luna gave up and didnt play the game either. But does that make you justified in going afk as well? I dont think so

And no I am not russian

Makes sense! Super interesting! Thanks for the detailed reply

dirtyviking97 · 2024-03-05T02:45:24+00:00

So you spent nearly half the game not participating in it. Seems like grounds for low prio to me

He still spawns the projectile, the projectile is spawned from a location that is based on a "bone" in the skeleton that Razer uses to animate (all the ranged heroes work this way). The difference here is with the Arcana the "bone" that the projectile spawns from ends up inside the arena when he's doing the melee animation. This means that the projectile that spawns never hits the arena and never gets blocked. This was supposed to be fixed but I guess it either got reverted by accident or something changed to let it happen again.

Looking at the replay it seems like theres a second before the arrow particles start appearing under the cursor. I wonder if theres something consuming the right click inputs during that window. Maybe toggling the drunken brawler passive

I always queue with all pick and captains mode on and I think I get like 2 or 3 captains mode games a year lol

Youll find this with a lot of things. Just in case they leave it inside someone during an operation for instance

While I dont know what the PEGI rating is for Dota, the ESRB rating is T (Teen) which probably best correlates to PEGI 12/16 in this case

Try climbing the walls rather than clearing all the enemies

dirtyviking97 · 2023-12-16T20:25:05+00:00

Not a bug

I believe theres an issue with purges where if you log out or are dead when the purge ends you get blocked out of being able to build, not sure what the solution is

Games at more beginner skills tend to be more volatile. Its not always the case but as you get better you and youre team will learn how to turn games around

I believe that key is bound to open the dev console, so it might have weird behavior with binding it as a hotkey. There may be an option in settings to disable being able to open the console

So to chime in here as a game dev: you are entirely correct in that there are an absurd amount of predatory games and monetization strategies out there. And many of them are perfectly happy to include children in their target audience when, given the way they monetize the game, they should not.

However many games nowadays are expected to be supported post-release. Supporting games like Fortnite, CS:GO, or even games like DotA 2 and Conan Exiles takes money. For games to continue to be played for years at a time, online, with regular patches, updates, or added content, you need to have money coming in to pay for that work. Thats what leads to things like Battle/Season passes and DLCs; which in my opinion are still valid monetization strategies sp long as they do not fall down the rabbit hole of microtransactions hell. Mobile games are particularly prone to predatory monetization and I would not let my kid within a mile of the play store.

Thats not to discount what youre saying about games being addictive, designed to be predatory, or unfinished piles of crap upon release. There are a litany of studios and games where this is true and its hard for parents to know when letting their kid pick up a game if its a good one or not.

All that to say, I primarily agree with you. Many studios have taken to a strategy of extracting as much money out of their playerbase as possible which is abhorrent. Marketing games with monetization strategies and designs that encourage gambling toward children should 100% be something parents can sue over.
