Hex



Hex (also referred to as Sheep, Voodoo, or Polymorph) is a status effect which turns the affected unit into a harmless critter, disabling many of its fighting capabilities.

Mechanics
All sources of hex instantly destroy illusions except strong illusions. Hexed heroes are still treated as heroes by abilities.

Hex applies multiple disables on the target – silence, mute and disarm, rendering it unable to attack, cast abilities and use active item abilities. Since it applies a regular silence, abilities are not, and already ongoing abilities are not stopped, except for channeling abilities. It does not dispel any status effect either.

However, it does not apply break (unless stated), thus all its passive abilities still work. It neither affects the target's armor, nor its magic resistance or any other passive effects it currently has.

Though hexes transform the target into critters, this has only a visual aspect. The unit keeps all its properties, including collision size. However, its hit box and selection box changes.

Hex state can be removed by strong dispels.

Set Movement Speed
Besides disabling, hex also directly sets the target's movement speed to a fixed value for the duration. The units are still fully affected by flat and percentage-based movement speed changes. Other movement speed notes fully apply.
