Anyone can list what spells/ultimates that go through Shrunken head?

Today we tried to counter Tempest with Shrunken Head. I notice that many times, even after tempest used it, the Shrunken Head user keep getting pulled in.

I believe it just stops you from being the direct target of a spell. ie a scout cannot click on you to snipe you, but an aoe like the tempest does not need to directly target you.

Attack modifiers such as slows go through Shrunken Head, at least in my experience (Arachna's slow works through Shrunke Head). And also the magical immunity effect from Shrunken Head can be purged with a Nullfire Blade, so it's actually quite useless at it's current state imo.

Edit: Also did the Shrunken Head user receive damage from the Black Hole? If he did, then Shrunken Head really needs some bug fixes.

All ults should go through shrunken head Pyros ult, tempests ult, and sadly electrictions ult(purge) that removes the effect
And arachs web shot isnt magic

It stops the damage from tornado but not the disable, same with a lot of ultis from DotA. For example, if you used Reaper's Scythe on a BKB'd hero it would stun them but not deal damage.

Or using Rofftrelen's roots, same thing, stop them in place, but they wouldn't take damage.

But you can cast all ultis on a bkb-ed hero, they just don't take damage. Imagine what a waste that would be for Lina :D
