Two Questions

iHyperi0n · 11-06-2011, 09:42 PM

1. What is the difference between Void's bash and his Chronosphere? It seems as if they are both pause (which I believe doesn't cancel channeling by itself?) based yet I'm pretty sure his bash cancels channeling while Chronosphere doesn't.

Ex. Sand King channels Epicenter, a Timelock will cancel the channeling while Chronosphere with no added stuns or bashes will not.

2. Does Obsidian Destroyer's Arcane Orb suffer from the mechanic where it loses it's orb effect if the target walks into the fog? I have seen examples of this mechanic where a Traxex will shoot Frost arrows and the target will walk around a corner (while the arrow is still in the air) into the fog and the arrow will be a regular Trax arrow instead of a Frost Arrow. Does the same thing happen to Arcane Orb?

Bash is Stun . - . Chrono is Pause

As for your SK example, maybe the cast time from Chrono is enough that SK get to finish his channel

Have you ever seen Timelock? It's not a simple bash; it pauses the opponents (freezes them in place if you will) movements like no other bash does. My best bet is that the pause effect is just aesthetic and has no weight on the move which at it's core is just a normal bash but that is just a guess.

As for my example, I meant it in this order:

1. Sand King channels Epicenter
2. Void Chronosphere's Him
3. Void does NOT attack him and the full duration of Chronosphere runs out
4. Sand King Epicenter continues to channel and activates?

it is a simple bash.
the freeze is just a freeze of the animation but has nothing to do with the unit actually being paused.

and: no, pausing will cause sk to be interupted in channeling.

So Pause does cancel channeling. I learned something today.

Thank You Anti. ^.^

You mean to say atropos channel will not be cancelled within the crhono ...how the does the damage work out there?

^No, pause will interrupt channeling spells.
