There must be many things that you wouldn't know about DotA and its inner mechanisms which we call it - The Game Secrets. Most of these are basic game mechanisms and some of them are rarely occurring moves that only trigger when certain elements are present,and some are merely minor bugs that even the game developers/programmers are not aware of. Now let us talk and share the game secrets or mechanisms,that are not necessarily elements to improve your game, things that aren't particularly required to play and succeed but it is something that will give you a bigger perspective and idea of DotA's inner workings.I'm not gonna bore you with intro and crap,that's not me or my nature, So let's begin.. Now lets talk about item based game secrets.

Hi guys, In the previous post i have discussed about the famous DotA game with a brief post called
Warcraft DotA – A Revolutionary Multiplayer Game which got really some good response from you guys. Now i am going to write about the unknown tips of DotA which are very useful for you to win the game online. The post will be mainly on Hero based secrets, tactics and items used in the game. So lets start the list.First part i will be talking about the Hero based secrets and tactics.

Hero Based Mechanisms/Secrets :-

1) Nortrom or Silencer can steal your opponents intelligence even when his INTELLIGENCE falls to zero. (giving him -1, -2… INT) but Nortrom’s Last Word gets
disabled if he himself is silenced.Implying if Silencer is silenced, he won’t be able to silence other’s with his Last Word.

As it can be seen from the screenshot that it was tested and Necrolyte's Intelligence was stolen by Silencer til his Intelligence fell into negative(-10) and his mana tank becomes empty disabling him to cast any spells.Though stealing intelligence til it reaches negative integers is impractical in a professional DotA games,it is just a possibility that is demonstrated showing the limits and the realms of the game.

2) Rylai’s aura stops working when she is invisible.

3) You can use items while in Juggy's Omnislash. eg. dagon, orchid malevolance, healing salve, etc.Similarly You can Teleport while juggy is spinning in his blade-fury.

4) Juggy teleports while using bladefury making him invulnerable so that the teleport is not interrupted.

In the above screenshot,we can see juggy using dagon, lothars edge making him do damage and become invisible as soon as the omni-slash is complete.

5) Orb-effects such as life steal, mana burn, etc are also triggered in juggy's omni slash.

6) Casting orb spells manually have greater range and a better animation cancellation than auto-casting them.

7) Manual casting must be done while harassing,so that the range is maximum and becomes really irritating for your opponents.I'm not kidding,trust me you'll know the difference.

8 ) Assault Cuirass’s +/- armor aura and Desolator works on buildings!

9) You can buy items while teleporting without breaking the channel.

10) Both the Illusion rune and the Double Damage and haste rune will NOT affect your hero when you’re magic immune (beware BKB and N’aix users!). Thank god atleast invisible rune works.That wasn't funny was it?? I was just trying to be hilarious.Anyway..

11) Zeus’ Thundergod’s Wrath does not damage isolated invisible enemies but you’ll gain the vision of them for a few seconds.(Vision of the place where the enemy was when spell was used)

12) If a unit bottles a rune, and still has that rune 1:59 minutes after bottling, and becomes Doomed, Astral-Imprisoned or somehow paused, they will not use the rune and will instead drop it at their current position.
