Pudge Vanguard Interaction is broken #3874

Open simplyexperimental opened 2 years ago

simplyexperimental commented 2 years ago

Description

I have been observing a strange interaction with pudge and vanguard that makes him extremely tanky. They get it very early in the game and it's very difficult to kill him. IT may be combined with the built in damage block and creates some weird interaction maybe? They then can get bloodstone which makes it even stronger.

If we compare this to tidehunter, tidehunters passive is useless as it can be broken while pudges strength given cannot and be has an active again that messes with vanguard interaction.

Investigate this and see if there is any merit to this case using the provided match ID.

Pudge flesh heap and vanguard stack. Pudge damage block is different from vanguard and crimson guard damage block.

Flesh Heap does not utilise Damage Block, despite the tooltip stating otherwise. Flesh Heap technically uses damage negation, which is why it 'stacks' with the Damage Block mechanic that items like Vanguard or Crimson Guard use.
