    Post Block Rune.. Stunning & Dodge

    I noticed it in beta but figured someone would have said something by now..

    Dodge Rune = Dodge (attacker's hit misses your hero)
    Block Rune = Block AND Counterattack (attack strikes your hero and proceeds with a counterattack)

    From what I have noticed when you are being attacked, Block reduces the attackers hit points and then your hero proceeds with a reduced hit points counterattack on the same attacking hero.





    The "Heart of Darkness" attack by a Mage hero (ex. Shayd) has the ability to stun the enemy. But when the enemy is stunned, how would it be possible for that stunned hero to "Dodge" an attack. While an enemy is stunned, you will never see it "Block" (and counterattack) but yet the stunned enemy can dodge.

    Any thoughts on this..

    After being stunned to death multiple times, I've noticed they DO block while stunned they just don't counter-attack.

    Just take it from other way - lets say "dodge" rune gives you very strong bright light, while Block is covering your body with stone. Now think about it - even if you stun that target, your next heroes still can miss hit and enemy will get "dodge" cus his light still blinds your guys with a % chance xD Also you can manage to still hit him, but his armor can block your attack if you will hit "stoned" zone. I hope it helps xD

    Ok that was a great metaphor but wrong.
    Having block is not like being covered in stone same as dodge is not like being covered in light. that implies a passivity and more correctly describes armor and special equipment.
    The words BLOCK and DODGE are verbs, hence actions. If a hero is stunned and can not perform an attack action why can it perform a defensive action?

    Probably because they are stunned -- not immobilized, paralyzed, unconscious, or dead. So being able to perform some action actually makes sense.

    Not sure i get all o fthe reasoning in the coding of this but its the way it is. I hate it when I stun a hero and it still dodges or blocks, but love it when one of my stunned heroes dodges or blocks

    Shock.. As I was saying I understand stunned heroes can Dodge and NOT counter; The point I was trying to make is that a stunned hero should not be able to Dodge.
    ZiZi.. Your analogy is a little off, just think of why police use stun guns to apprehend someone. Doesn't always work but at least the odds are in their favor

    I'm just saying all in all the ability to dodge while being stunned should be removed or be heavily reduced in favor of the attacker.
