What the item does
Use: Disguise
Turns the caster and all allied player-controlled targets in a 1200 radius invisible, and grants 15% bonus movement speed for 45 seconds.
While the caster is still disguised, any allies that come within 300 range of them will also get the buff applied to them. Each smoke can only be applied once to allies.
Attacking or moving within 1025 range of an enemy hero or tower, will break the invisibility.
Disguise grants invisibility that is immune to True Sight.
Smoke of Deceit is usable from the backpack and has no cooldown when swapped into the main inventory.
How I decide
«Before Smoke, we already know the route and first target.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- Key abilities are ready, and the team can disappear from the map together.
- 02 My decision
- I gather the participants, mark the path and the expected point where the smoke move will be revealed.
- 03 What I avoid
- Press Smoke and then wait for allies scattered across the map.
When I would buy it
Before moving together, with abilities ready.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
What to compare it with
Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.
