^ im going to say Transformation, Increase, Travel, Damage, Evasion

No these are not the correct ability types of Dota.

Ability Types:

• Targetable
• Auto - Cast
• Passive

and Targeting types:

• Unit
• Point
• Instant
• Area

Those that you mentioned are mechanics of what sells are based of in Dota. There are only 3 ability types Targetable, Passive, Auto - Cast and no more. The ability types that you mentioned (let's take damage fro an example) is not an ability type but rather a Unit/Hero Specific. Some are reduced by armor (attacks), some spell resistance ( Lightning Bolt) and some are seemingly not reduced at all ( Meat Hook). The ones you listed are not even called ability types.

.... different word same meaning ability skill spell mechanic

same difference

if u understood what i meant as obviously people did then there is no need.
