Hi guys  :D, If you know any of the DotA Facts or Did you know stuff about DotA, Feel free to post in this thread.
Here are some examples i want to share with you, plz don't hesitate to share yours...


Spells based on Fan of Knives (e.g. Scream of Pain, Echoslam) although Magic Damage would not damage Ethereal Units. (Pugna's Decreptify and Ghost Scepter"

Omnislash and Bladefury does not damage Ethereal Units also.

Activating Manta/Slithice's Illusion Skill can dodge Most Spells if the timing is perfect.

Switching from melee to range or from range to melee with Troll can dodgr most spells if timing is  perfect.

Did you know Rooftrellen's Living Armor can be cast on buildings

Crystal Maiden's Frost Bite can be used on the Fountain.

Did you know The Phantom Lancer's model is based on a creature from the game Final Fantasy?

Did you know that if you use X-Marks the Spot on Yurnero BEFORE he uses Omnislash he will immediately stop if you use Return.

Did you know that If Lich has frost armor and then he attacks Centaur, he will be slowed because his return is like his normal melee attack.

Switching from melee to range or from range to melee with Troll can dodge most spells if timing is  perfect.
its the same like when Medusa turn split shot on/off cause these spells are like changing model of hero or something like that so with these transform spells you can dodge almost every targeted spell ;)

Well, im pretty sure he is completely inspired by Diablo Leoric... The same model, they even added the crown. Butcher is also the first boss in Diablo.

And there are lots of heroes like Riki that got their names after something, like metal bands for example (Nevermore, Barathrum, possibly Slayer), religious texts and mythology (Zeus, Lucifer, Leviathan, Abbadon, Medusa..), ex-staff (Syllabear, and some items)
