Hello, I'm G00dG4m3, but you I gues already know that.

I've been reading DotA forums once and I seed a suggestion to make Akasha's, the Queen of Pain ultimate not just another stupid Shockwave, but something greater. So here you go, I decided to make something Interesting of Shockwave.

This spell isn't based of Shochwave, as I want the spell to 'stun' enemies it hit, so I made this Shockwave's sliding triggered.
Note that once hit by this Shockwave, enemies are immune to it until the duration of the 'Stun' is over.

Remember, the Original Shockwave of Warcraft III is not an Eye-Candy spell, so I won't make it to one.
I will update this spell to have all the models and Names of the DotA, exept for the Akasha's hero name, there will be written 'Made by G00dG4m3' to remind you who made this spell ^^

This is not an simple Shockwave we are used to see.
This Shockwave stuns things, but that stun lasts less time the longer the wave moves.
Well, actually it doesn't even stun, as the dummy skill is based of Aerial Shackles, a channeled spell.
That is why in trigger comments I will say 'stun' and 'stunning', because that 'stun' isn't really a stun xD

Have fun with this spell.
Don't forget to give me credits if you use this on your map.
