Linken's Sphere

Which magics go through new Linken's?

No targeted spell go thorugh Linkens. Just that, Treant's Overgrowth catches you and it still activates your Linken's Cooldown.

IIRC, linken is a great counter of Overgrowth...not the other way round.

ALL targeted (by hero or by dummy units) are blocked by linken. but some spells has multiple targeted action. linken only blocks the first one.
and doom is blocked by linken so as global silence.

i think CVp, it's not abt first, look at necrolyte, firstly it damages,additionally it stuns. But if yr opponent have a linken, he only gets the damage, stun is blocked. Again some targeted spells even go through linken, such as- shadow word, nether swap etc.
And global silence isnt blocked by linken.

I was confused about this part!

what you think is wrong.
have you ever considered that necro's ulti (Reaper's Scythe) may stun first and then damage?

just because you "click" on a hero to cast a spell doesn't mean it is a targeted spell.
again, just because you are not clicking on a hero a cast a spell doesn't mean it is not a targeted spell.

IIRC, swap casts a ministun, then a TRIGGER does the swapping. even if there wasn't a ministun first, there is no way linken can block a triggered spell.

and Linken DOES blocks Global Silence because GS is a targeted silence casting by dummy unit(s). It goes through BKB because in this case, the casting by dummy is specifically set as Ultimate.

Thank you, CvP for your psuedo-smart bullsh*t! ;D

well, I'd like to correct one thing here.
it seems linkens don't block GS anymore. but the rest of the info above are correct.
