Please graveyard this as it is no longer required, it's now implemented inside Damage by default.

What GFreak said. This will be added to submission rules (eventually).

You should have posted the link :p

Regardless of if either was faster, you should not have been doing it anyways. As Anitarf points out, it is probably CPU (processor) specific.

Or another speedfreak myth like that nonsense Increment/Decrement Captain Griffin tried a few months ago.

The system deals damage to the unit. Which triggers the which is used by many spells or other systems. Example, if a hero has a damage reflecting aura(like Spectre's DotA Dispersion), and detects armor, it will deal damage to surrounding units and players would think it is bug(it is). More dangerous if this unit's armor is being detected every period.

I need these system, but it conflicts with spells that I use with damage detect. Please fix D:

I know you're going to think I'm crazy for this, but:

JASS:
return -(Ln(2-reduction)/-0.061875)

->
JASS:
return Ln(2-reduction)/0.061875
