User:BalorothRite/LinkensBlocked

As a rule, only spells that interact with single-targets specifically in some way are blocked. This means if the spell is either targetable on a unit or triggers an effect when it hits a unit, it may be blocked (there are exceptions). This is especially true for spells that stun (which seem most often to be blocked). AoE only spells do not seem to be blocked ever (which is expected). Example: Batrider's Flamebreak is blocked, either if it triggers when it hits the holder or if it hits a nearby unit, but only for the holder. Lich's Frost Blast is blocked if the holder is the target (but not otherwise). Spells that have bouncing or similar effects are usually only blocked once, for the holder. Juggernaut's Omnislash, for example, is only blocked on the first hit.

Finally, a handful of abilities, mostly ultimates, have weird interactions: either are not blocked despite being targeted (Axe's ultimate) or are only partially blocked (Huskar's Lifebreak).

There are no known interactions with attack modifiers (crit, bash, etc) of any kind.
