Disables (also called crowd control, or CC) refer to any abilities or status effects that prevent, impede, or otherwise inhibit a Hero from acting. Disables come in many different varieties, and most Heroes have access to some form of disable. Sometimes "disabled" or "fully disabled" refer to stun.

Interactions
1 Does not prevent disassembling.

2 Does not prevent turning.

3 Prevents using of certain abilities and items.

4 Some abilities can be still cast while stunned. (Ursa's "Enrage" with Aghanim upgrade and Troll Warlord's "Battle Trance" with level 25 talent upgrade)

Stun
Stuns are the most common and most dependable kind of disable.

It also interrupt all channeling abilities, such as using. In general, stuns can be categorized into three types, with each using a different modifier to stun the target(s). Stuns from the same group use the same modifier, therefore they refresh each others' duration based on when they affect the target and do not extend its stun duration.

Certain stun abilities requires the caster to channel the ability in order to stun the affected target(s), or it applies negative effects onto the caster themselves. These abilities mostly use the Unique Modifier (e.g. and ).

Sleep
Some sources of Sleep provides invulnerability (e.g. ), while some do not (e.g. ).

Cyclone
While being lifted up into the air, other units can pass below it. Sources of Cyclone are and.

Slow
A type of status effect that reduces the afflicted units movement speed by a percentage, and/or attack speed by a flat value of their current speeds. In general, slows from different sources stack with each other, but multiple of the same instance do not, but refresh their duration instead. There are some exceptions to this.

Movement speed slows (e.g. and ) reduce a unit's movement speed by a percentage of its speed. Currently, there are no sources of movement speed slow which reduce a unit's movement speed by a fixed value. A unit affected by a haste is immune to movement speed slowing effects.

Attack speed slows (e.g. and ) reduce a unit's attack speed by a fixed value and stacks additively. Currently, there are no sources of attack speed slow which reduce a unit's attack speed by a percentage value. There is no effect which grants a unit immunity to attack speed slows either.

Forced Movement
Some spells forcefully move the affected units, preventing it from freely moving. Some of these also fully disable it for the duration, but some allow the unit to still turn, attack or cast spells and items.


 * Examples of fully disabling forced movements are (when hooking enemies),, and.
 * Examples of non-disabling forced movements are (when hooking allies),, and.

Root
A root (formerly known as Ensnare) is a form of disable which prevents a unit from moving and disables certain mobility-based abilities (e.g., , and blink from , and ), however, it does not prevent the affected units from turning, casting other spells or using most items. Some roots also disarm the affected units (disarming roots were formerly known as Entangle).


 * Examples of roots are, , and.
 * Sources of roots which also disarm are and.

Leash
A Leash is a form of disable that restricts (but does not prevent) movement in some way while also disabling certain mobility-based abilities (similar to Root). Like Root, Leash does not prevent the affected units from turning, casting other spells or using most items.
 * Sources of leashes are (heavily slows the leashed hero when it tries to move away from the leash point),  (Affected heroes are leashed for Dream Coil's duration, if they move too far from the leash point they are stunned but no longer leashed), and  (When the affected hero gets close to another allied hero, they become leashed to each other, heavily slowing them when they try to move away from each other).

Hex
Hex turns the target Hero or unit into a critter, a weak unit that is incapable of attacking or using abilities and items. Hex silences, mutes, disarms and sets the target's base movement speed to a certain value, usually low value. It does not affect any other aspect of the unit (like turn rate, vision, collision size, etc), nor does it prevent it from gaining experience and gold.


 * Sources of hex are, , upgraded  and . The  active ability hexes the carrier into a pig with 10% bonus movement speed rather than cripplingly low.

Trap
A trap is technically not a disable, since it doesn't really prevent a unit from anything. A trap hinders a unit from moving, similar to how cliffs hinder a unit from moving. Trapping spells either create an impassable obstacle, or create a barrier or a leash which prevent units from passing by heavily slowing the unit if it tries to pass through.
 * Sources of traps in the form of obstacles are (creates regular trees at a target point),  (creates destructible units around the caster),  (creates an indestructable ridge in a straight line in front of the caster), and  (creates indestructable shards in an arc at the target location).
 * Another form of trap is (creates a thin barrier at the target location which heavily slows units when walking against it).

Taunt
A taunt forces the target to attack another unit. The target is unable to issue any other commands until the taunt wears off. The forced attacks caused by taunts will interrupt any ongoing order the affected unit has, including channeling spells. If the taunting unit cannot be attacked or the taunted unit cannot attack, the taunted unit will follow the taunting unit until attacks are possible again or the taunt wears off.


 * Sources of taunts are, , and  upgraded.

Fear
Fear forces the target to run away from the cast point. The target is unable to issue any other commands until the fear wears off.


 * Sources of fear are, and.

Hide
Hiding (also referred to as banishing) a unit causes it to temporarily disappear. While hidden, a unit cannot be affected by any spell (with a very few exceptions) and is fully disabled. It is unable to move, attack, cast spells or items. Usually hiding spells also turn the affected unit invulnerable.


 * Examples of hiding spells are, , and.

Ethereal
Ethereal is a status effect which prevents a unit from attacking, but also prevents it from getting attacked. It turns the unit immune to physical damage, but usually reduces magic resistance, making it take more magical damage. Ethereal effects apply a slow when targeted to enemies.


 * Sources of ethereal are, , , and.

Disarm
A disarm prevents the affected unit from attacking. It still can be attacked by other units.


 * Examples of disarm are, , and.

Blind
A blind causes a unit to gain a chance to miss on attacks. Blinds work fully independently from evasion.


 * Examples of blinds are and.

Disabling Orders
Stuns (including Shackle, Sleep and Cyclone), Forced Movement, Hide and Taunt effects do not prevent the player from giving orders to their units. The given order is executed by the unit as soon as the disable expires. There are only very few abilities which can be cast normally while affected by these disables:

However, some disables prevent giving orders to units. They also prevent casting the aforementioned abilities.

When an order is prevented, the player cannot even select a target in case of targeted orders like a unit-targeted ability. In such case, the order remains selected (i.e. a unit-targeted ability stays selected when attempting to cast it while silenced, and the player has to manually deselect it).

When giving orders is disabled, a red on-screen error message appears, telling the player why the order cannot be given. The text is usually accompanied by an error sound. The message and sound varies based on the disable.

The following status effects disable giving orders:

Besides the named disables, the prevention of giving orders is also partly a disable on its own. Several abilities completely prevent the player from giving the affected units any order, while the disable the ability uses does not. The following abilities fully prevent giving orders:

Trivia
Pause was an effect that completely rendered the target unable to move, attack, cast spells or items, disabled most passive abilities and caused buffs and debuffs to not tick down for the duration. It also prevented it from gaining experience.


 * Examples of pause were, , and.
