Personal Notes: It was obvious that IceFrog used a much-needed dummy unit to achieve the stifling-dagger. It doesn't really look like a projectile at all; it looks more like a unit because it follows the terrain elevation. Another problem faced is that it doesn't impact the body of the target unit perfectly like a normal auto-generated projectile. While it is majorly aesthetic, it should lessen the load of the PC as the projectile flies, so theoretically the game goes faster.
One problem i faced, is that i have no idea of a projectile-based spell that has no stun involved, so unfortunately it does mini-stun for at least 0.03s. Though i like the idea of Ministun in the impact, the problem is that it could bring balance issues in the game-probably.
Anyways, Credits to IceFrog for the original concept from DOTA. But i did most of the work in this variant. If you wonder how i did the system or wanted to make your own, you can visit this page.
