yeah it's really weird, maybe it's treated like wd's death ward attacks?
only the janitor knows whats happening in the spaghetti code...

death ward is projectile while the said skills are AoE and select target. This is definitely a bug.

"Pure Damage is a damage type that is not reduced by Armor or Magic Resistance. It is also not amplified by magical damage amplification abilities, fully ignores Armor and Damage Block. It does not affect invulnerable units.

There are a few sources that can manipulate Pure Damage, with Dispersion being one of them. This mechanic is called damage reduction. Pure damage affects units with Spell Immunity (because spell immunity does not block damage), but that does not mean that an ability that deals pure damage is able to target spell immune units.

For example, Laser deals pure damage, but cannot be cast on units with spell immunity."

As a enthusiast of language...
This game has become very unclear about the dynamics of damage and buffs\debuffs.
Spell imunity I understand as "not able to suffer debuff from speels - including passive.
I belive that you shoud be able do use the spell in a unity immune to it - but no dmg\effect shoud take effect.

It seems like your brain got pure damage.

Tinker's Laser does pierce muerta's ghost and can damage her. All pure damage pierces ghost. What you're saying is spell immune. Spell immunity is not equal to ethereal. BKB is spell immune. Not ghost/ethereal. Pure damage pierces Ethereal units.

I've tried it with BKB on and it pierces it. Pure damage shouldn't damage anyone with BKB. Kez's Raptor dance is PHYSICAL not PURE.
