General Discussionextra game mechanic knowledge?

any single target projectile as far as I know
for example: auto attacks, nukes like VS Magic Missile, Tinker's HSM

there are some projectiles that can't be dodged

lich's chain frost, alch's stun, necro's heal, pl's spirit lance, pa's stifling dagger, ogre magi's ignite

quick edit to add the rest

are those the only ones?

I think so. Sven's stun used to be undodgeable but I think it changed recently.

edit: I think Skywrath's Q isn't dodgeable but I'm not sure

Alch stun cant be dodged. I've seen smoke used in pro games to sometimes dodge tower hits when they are backing out a teamfight under a t3.

wow wtf wtf i didnt know smoke could be this useful other than the purpose of ganking and going to rosh pit >.<

you can use smoke to hide from non-hero units

like brewmaster's ult and summons in general

*brewmaster uses ult"

some other time sucker!

satellizer i just dodged spirit lance with blink dagger + ghost walk

^ Yeh, that was changed recently. I think in 6.79

u can dodge sven stun with mirana leap but its almost impossible :p (unless u play her a lot)...

and i'll give u guys another tip ^^ probably one many of u didnt know
u can block/dodge skills like laguna blade as u do with fast use of bkb by activating ghost scepter right on time (just as it impacts)

makes sense for skywrath, im pretty sure it'd hit

dodging a nuke with a ghost scepter? never seen it

with bkb yes ive seen it, mirana dodging stuns yes i do that benao i already told you lol

my mirana stats dont magically stay up there on their own

Another Pro tip:

If you time the toggling of Medusa's split shot (and its not easy), you can dodge similar to the way you can use manta to dodge.

To be more specific, there is a 0.1 second "transformation time" when the toggle is activate. During that time period, Medusa is invulnerable.

you can dodge a lot of projectiles with "transformations"

like lone druid:

^ wow lol that would piss me off if i was chasing ld

lone druid so OP.. now i wanna try him

it was way easier to time it with ld before... now its weird and super slow...they can countercancel back :p

and the ghost scepter shit i was like wooooooo fucking imba shit and lol'd hard... and i was like.. anyone else saw that? and did that rly happen? xD... the guy wanted to suicide as he noticed he was laguna blade or smth like that so he activated ghost right on time and the skill vanished on the outher shell of the ghost :D (ofc losing 0 hp)

^ Puck can dodge laguna blade's damage too :D
Not sure if alch can, although iirc activating his ulti lets you dodge projectile stuns.

@Concede, didn't that change in d2? I remember that being the case back in dota1, but I thought I remember people mentioning that it got removed though :/
