Slower is better than stuner
During the battle, chasing someone with throw Storm Bolt or Magic Missile is common now. But, due to Warcraft 3 engine, rendering Stun time can’t be manipulated, slow skill become the answer. We can stack many slow skill such as Poison Touch, Frost Nova, Degen Aura etc and there isn’t any reduction at all for those skill. Compare to stun, the longest stun ever around 3.75 sec, if i’m not mistaken, Magnus Reverse Polarity can do that. But, it’s an ultimate skill, compare it to single skill like any other slower skill. But, both of slower and stuner can be countered by one thing. Still Black King Bar is the real answer for this problem.

noobs everywhere
alleria’s stuns last for 3.75 seconds and if you know how to use that stun
you can stick two heroes togheter with that stun
raigor stuns can trap you for 8 seconds around a tower
that is enough just to do a first blood at the begining
chaos knight can stun up to 4 secs but it’s by chance only
if you play with cairne bloodhoof you dont say it forever!!!
cairne can take image and send it to group of enemies…and stunt them 5 seconds!!!!while infernal of warlock is ultimate and has 2 second stun … compare it
Longest stun in dota:
Razril : up to 5 seconds
T. Chieftain : stomp
Mirana : arrow
Void : chronospere
in fact, both are needed. but depends on situation. stunning is great to open battle, while slow for chasing runaway enemies. overall, stun for me is better. simple, tell me, would you prefer permastun or permaslow? even you slow Jahrakal, when he got into you, you’ll get an ownage only
