Talk:Pause

The introduction is bloody hard to understand
I'm trying to understand how Dota mechanics work as a beginner but I cannot understand what's the meaning of the introduction:

''Pause is a status effect that completely incapicates a unit without contest, including passives (such as evasion), except unique modifiers , and invisibility , overriding any spell effects , including those not blocked by magic immunity , although it still has no effect on invulnerable targets. Chronosphere will affect even towers.''

So what does it mean? I presume incapicates is a misspelling of incapacitates. But what does incapacitate means, in the sense how is it different of a stun?

What I understand of the introduction is: It's the same thing as a stun, except passive abilities (auras) and passive spells (evasion) will not function at all, with the exception of invisibility passives (like Riki or Broodmother?).

What I don't understand is:
 * without contest: I don't understand that, if something is contestable, what would it mean? Would it mean the Black King Bar can deflect the spell?
 * Pause is a status effect that completely incapacitates a unit, overriding any spell effects, including those not blocked by magic immunity: If I rephrase the end of the sentence, it becomes: Pause even overrides spell effects that are not blocked by magic immunity. I've read this sentence numerous times without understanding.
 * although it still has no effect on invulnerable targets: Pause does not apply the pause status effect on invulnerable targets, or Pause does not make invulnerable targets vulnerable?

Maybe the whole introduction should be rephrased with less commas and be deterministic about what Pause actually is.--91.121.71.75 15:19, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Is this SLE? If not, let me explain:
 * Pausing is a unique status effect that applies in many cases to units that you'd not expect that it would have to (expecially in the case of the original dota) such as magimmune targets and in the cases of certain other effects (previously, cyclone). If you understand that "Pause even overrides spell effects that are not blocked by magic immunity" is an untrue statement, than yeah. Sorry about that. Pause still doesnt affect invuln units, which is a point I'm clarifying as I speak.
 * Also, if this is SLE, note that except in the case of towers, invulnerability does in fact immunise against all crowd control, including pause. And this kind of use of ips constitutes wikipedia:WP:SOC. I understand I made some mistakes, but do you still really have to try to illigitimately discredit every edit I do? Really?
 * You have legitimate concerns. Having had explained yourself previously would have saved you a lot of trouble.
 * A block is not a permanant ban, merely a note on your record as a user. Many users have come back from a block before and have had become sucessfully contributing users, many of them now administrators and such not (and you can always come back and contribute later often even if perma-banned). --Immanot 04:07, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Huh... I don't know what SLE is and what the two other paragraphs means (did you confuse me with someone else? I was only asking for clarification... thanks for giving a beginning of answer.
 * Regarding "Pause even overrides spell effects that are not blocked by magic immunity is an untrue statement", I'm not saying that it's true or not, I'm just saying I don't understand the core meaning of the sentence. Think of this way, currently the sentence is equivalent to "The mouse cursor can go over areas that are not trapped by the mouse trap boundaries", it just doesn't make any sense to me, that's why I'm asking what's the "core" meaning, not whether it's right or not.
 * Well whatever, I see the first paragraph of the article was completely rephrased so now I seem to understand it better.
 * If I need to confirm my identity (you seem to think I am some spammer or something?), here it is a proof http://ha3.eu/ai/dota2wiki_confirmation.txt ha3.eu is where my popular minecraft mods are hosted on ), but thanks for the explanation.
