Hex

Hex (or Sheep or Polymorph after the spell popularised by World of Warcraft) is used to refer to a type of status effect that transforms the affected unit into a critter, silencing and disarming a target and reducing movement speed to 100. Hexed units are also unable to perform actions that heroes can, such as using, picking up, or dropping items and gaining experience. Auras fade after 2-4 seconds.

It mutes all skills on heroes except the following:
 * Abilities that give statistics like Marksmanship (including Spell Shield)
 * Triggered or procced abilities like Counter Helix, Backtrack and certain other passives
 * Toggled abilities like Rot, Shapeshift
 * Unsilencable abilities like Morph Agility Gain or Reincarnation

Hex also disables True Sight from Gem of True Sight, Burn damage from Radiance, Evasion, and Damage Block (as they are based off the unit).

Hex will not affect the unit's magic resistance or armor nor dispel any buffs.
