Random DotA Trivia #1

Whee its holiday times!
Oh wait that was last month. Holidays almost over already blah.

Anyway I'm going on vacation again so I shall revive this blog for the most useless thing ever: Random DotA Trivia (Y)

Today's trivia is:

"Axe's Counter Helix is triggered by the attack front-swing, not the attack itself nor the command. "

Implications of this are:
1. Repeatedly pressing A and left clicking on Axe will not trigger Counter Helix.
2. Pressing S repeatedly while affected by Berserker's Call INCREASES the rate at which Axe spins. This is because Berserker's Call issues an attack command on Axe everytime you issue another command, and everytime the attack command is issued at such close range the front-swing plays, giving a 17% chance to spin.
3. Some spells use the attack front-swing as the casting animation. Examples are Lion's Impale and Tidehunter's Gush. Casting these spells on Axe WILL trigger Counter Helix because it plays the attack front-swing.
4. Counter Helix triggers the moment the attack front-swing plays, not when the projectile hits Axe (for ranged attackers).
