Linken's Spehere nerfed or buggy? (2836 reads, 20 replies, 3 months ago)

It no longer blocks potm's arrows (both stun and damage).


Not so cool considering that linken's sphere supposedly got buffed in 6.73:
Added +10 damage to account for component bonuses
- No longer triggered by Medallion of Courage
- No longer triggered by Urn of Shadows

Try to read [and understand] before you post. Linken's Sphere supposedly got buffed coz it no longer triggers against urn and medallion. But now, it no longer works vs potm arrow (and perhaps some other spells too). Try it before posting senseless comments.

Spell Block
Blocks most targeted spells once every 20 seconds

'TARGETED' spells. Arrow is not a targeted spell. It shouldn't be able to block it in the first place. It's more like that it was bugged before and it got fixed now.

Pinoy hating on pinoys. As usual.

At least it does not trigger on urn/medallion which are much easier to click than potm's arrow.

#7 +1

Hopefully icefrog reworks sphere to include even non-target spells which work the same way as target spells. (With the recent update, LS no longer works vs scream of pain, Tinker's missile, and probably against Treant's OG.)

It seems like it got nerfed now imho, though unintentionally.

FACT:

Starfall, overgrowth, magic arrow, heat-seeking missile, and scream of pain are NOT TARGET spells. Before Icefrog "buffed" Linken's Sphere in 6.73, those NON-TARGET spells (to mention a few) were blockable.

I know LS blocks "Target Spells." (Spell block: blocks most targeted spells once in every 20 seconds)

My point is that LS got incidentally nerfed after Icefrog reworked it. IMO the recent change did more harm than good.

I don't know if this is actually a nerf though,even an unintentional one.

Think about this: With Linken's you usually wish to block some nasty disables such as hex,shackles,nightmare etc. Those long disables are targeted spells most of the time.

On the other hand,blocking a spell like starfall or heat seeking missile would be a waste. Actually,enemies would usually waste a missile/scream/starfall to put your Linken's on cooldown and then have an ally disable you. So now Linken's focuses on blocking spells that are actually worth blocking.

OK,Elune's arrow is an exception to this but it's a very unique spell anyway.I can't think right now of any other long disable that is non-targeted.

I'm not really sure about all of this though,just a thought.

Thanks for your constructive input. Very few people like you here on GG.net.
And yeah, I think you're correct in a way in that it aims to block spells which are worth blocking. But in situations where you have very low hp, any spell is worth blocking as you might as well die from taking the damage.
But Ice frog has the last word on this.

Elune's arrow can be blocked by MED using MAGIC SHIELD maybe , due to the not too fast speed of the arrow

This is because Elune's arrow was recoded to stun invis units.

Previously, invis units taking an arrow will only be damaged but not stunned.

To change that, Elune's arrow, when it hits, the stun and damage is cast by a dummy unit of the target. As linken does not block friendly spells, it will not block arrow.

The arrow can now hit and stun Roshan also, quite fun

If you think of it this way, IF buffed indirectly, heroes like tinker, akasha, treant...etc.
