DotA and Dota 2 Disparities
When it comes to dispels there are quite a lot of disparities between DotA and Dota 2. For instance, AA's Ice Blast is dispellable with Diffusal Blade or Manta in DotA, but not in Dota 2. And sometimes a skill is implemented differently, Shadow Fiend's Damage reduction is a buff applied in an aoe in DotA that can be purged, but in Dota 2 it is a temporary aura with SF as the carrier and can not be dispelled.

This article is maintained by how things works in the most recent patch of Dota 2, with no regard to how spells worked in DotA. It should not be taken as a source of how spells should work, but rather as a source of information of how spells currently behave in Dota 2.

Large tables
Due to the nature of the tables (having to list every spell in the game) this article became quite heavy. The tables could be moved to their own article to ease the load, just like this table.

Right now some tables are collapsed as a temporary solution to improve readability.

Neutral creeps' buffs/debuffs?
There are many status effects that neutrals/ancients/roshan place, is there a reason they are not included?

Vhoul aids, ghost slow, satyr purge slow, blue ogre armor, hellbear clap, big troll ensnare, ancient lizard slam, roshan slam. —109.87.109.212 09:33, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
