7 months ago if it's gone then its gone. but i think it's good that they fixed it. the pudge animation looks weird. I still can do almost full attack animation without hitting, just cannot move as moving will start moving animation properly. previously probably just a bug cos it is still showing attack animation for maybe 0.25 sec while moving.
now you dont even have to cancel in between, just move will cancel animation instantly, which how it shouldve been i think. in the video you just cancel too fast, now u probably have to wait for almost full animation that you wanted to see

What it's about?
• If you cancel the attack using normal methods (cancel key/hero move), the attack animation will be interrupted, a new animation will be played (if character movement) or the hero will stand still (if we canceled the attack) • If you use trick mechanics, the hero will make an animation of an attack, but the attack itself will not be and accordingly damage too, but the hero can move in the desired direction, if you give the order of movement. • Because of this, I can surprise the enemy and confuse him • Let's say I'm playing Shadow Fiend, I want to use shadowraze on an enemy, I can start just going at the enemy and he will immediately realize that I'm coming at him. • With the trick, I can walk towards him during the attack animation, it will take him longer to realize that I'm not going to hit the creep, but I'm coming at him. These are tricks for high level and mmr players
How to do it?
Before: • When we press A and then press S at the right moment, the hero does a full attack animation, no damage is done, it's just an animation. • If you add movement in any direction the hero can do a fake attack on the move. • This was a little known mechanics of the game, it worked on both items and heroes with creeps
NOW: It's broken
• After Feb 8-9 this mechanic is dead, the game blocks this mechanics. • If you try to use this trick on items/heroes/creeps, while standing still/while in motion, the hero will abruptly interrupt its animation, ofc, if done correctly (standing up, the trick is harder to do).
Default: • If you just try to stop a hit with a move or with cancel key not in timing, on an item/creep/hero, without this trick the hero will just stop his attack animation and we lose the opportunity to surprise the enemy -Game mechanics
In DOTA 2 a lot of small mechanics and feints, such as same creeps aggro, etc., they create a huge field for maneuvering, skill growth and make the game more entertaining to watch, especially on the mid lane. These mechanics have been all these years. Please, turn it back
For understand • To make the trick easier to perform, quick attack is enabled in the settings • The right mouse button also makes it easier to perform the trick when trick is used in motion (Usually, for a higher chance of performing the trick, people spam the A key first to get a feel for the moment)
Default keys A- attack S- cancel the action Need turn on: Quick attack on settings
