View Full Version : Should fatty's hook be cancellable?
Should the devourers hook be cancellable?
Not only does it have a psycological effect of YOU'RE MINE! being spammable, but you can also cancel it if you see that you're clearly missing - and you sort of have more time to realize this than other non-autoattack abilities.
Yes, it should. It adds depth to the skill (inb4 friendly2noobs).
What's more imbalanced is if you spam Decay fast enough he jerks off.

It is cancellable if you are fast enough.

Didn't know this. Yes he should. In fact, this should be added to DotA too, but would require an entire recode of Hook.

Pretty sure you can cancel hook in DotA as well. Just remove the "You're mine!" effect unless the skill actually completes. All spells currently still play the sound if you cancel it, even attack cancelling does this. Just a polish issue.

I've spammed S to stop the hook a few times when i click it and see the hero moving as I click it and never been able to cancel the hook as of yet =\
I'm more sad about the clip plain in this game everyone is a huge square box and it's so easy to get stuck, or hit the guys toenail and hook a creep instead.

He probably should get a cancel, considering it is the only skill he has that really does any damage, except for the poison one that is, but that also hurts him o_0.

Whats that supposed to mean, How do you cancel it if you are "Fast Enough"

Because there is a very short delay when you can actually cancel the hook.
Devourer will make the sound, but he won't hook.

Can't hook to ledges; check
Can't rot after devouring; check
1/4 the heroes in the game have a leap/blink/stealth/invisibility spell; check
Yep, clearly overpowered.

Pudge is definitely not overpowered. Not in this game.

I think the hook should be attackable.
