so if i am correct these are the main types of abilities in Dota :


Damage
Slow
Stun
Travel
Disable
Replication
Reduction
Increase
Creation
Transformation
Evasion



most other abilities are either within one of those types or contain multiple types.

Coup de Grace? - Damage

Ravage? - Damage and Stun

Supernova - damage, stun and transformation

Spell Steal - Replication

What i want to know are there any abilities that do not fit into any of those?

hmmmm good point.

you could say "Creation" but then if we include that in then it would get muddy.

i would say it would fall under "Increase"

since technically its an aura that can "increase" your mana pool.

they would fall under "disable" since they are not a stun but they prevent movement.

Meat Hook? Would silence and disarm falls under disable?

Does summons fall under creation?

Sprout does NOT disable the enemy in any way. It CREATES trees, which block movement and vision.

Meat Hook would be - Disable and Travel

summons does fall under creation.

Sprout would be Creation, Disable it disables movement. block is just another disable.

so Fissure would be a Stun, Damage, Disable, Creation

Creation=summon?
If so, Hand of God certainly does not fit into any of these as it only heals.

Techies' Minefield Sign! You could argue that it falls under 'creation' but its not a unit: you can't collide with it nor does it affect the heroes or creeps in any way.

I'd argue it deserves its own category: Mind Games
