| 76 | Debuff Immunity | — | — |
| 77 | Spell Immunity reworked into Debuff Immunity | — | — |
| 78 | Debuff Immunity is different in three major ways: the spell application, debuff protection and damage reduction | — | — |
| 79 | Spell application: All spells can now be used on units with Debuff Immunity, even ones that don't pierce Debuff Immunity. Corresponding visual effects will appear and the spell will apply all of it's debuffs on target | — | — |
| 80 | Debuff protection: Negative effects that don't pierce Debuff Immunity will not have an effect on the target for the duration of the immunity. However, if the Debuff Immunity expires before the debuff that doesn't pierce it, then it will take effect for the remaining duration. Negative effects that pierce Debuff Immunity take effect immediately | — | — |
| 81 | Damage reduction: Debuff Immunity increases Magic Resistance and negates Pure and Reflected damage completely. These effects protect only against spells that don't pierce the Debuff Immunity. Physical Damage is not reduced in any case. Here's the list of Magic Resistance for all abilities that previously gave Spell Immunity: | — | — |
| 82 | Brewmaster's Earth Brewling, Clockwerk (Talent), Dawnbreaker (Shard), Elder Titan (Scepter), Huskar (Life Break), Legion Commander (Talent), Lion (Shard), Marci (Talent), Pangolier (Rolling Thunder and Roll Up), all grant 50% Magic Resistance | — | — |
| 83 | Juggernaut (Blade Fury) and Lifestealer (Rage) grant 80% Magic Resistance | — | — |
| 84 | Grimstroke's Dark Portrait illusion has 95% Magic Resistance | — | — |
| 85 | These mostly affect the Black King Bar, so let's summarize with a couple of examples: | — | — |
| 86 | Avatar: Applies a basic dispel and provides Debuff Immunity. Grants 50% Magic Resistance and immunity to pure and reflected damage. For the duration, any negative effect on the user has no effect. Lasts 9/8/7/6 seconds | — | — |
| 87 | All spells that pierce Debuff Immunity will have effect and deal their damage while ignoring the Magic Resistance granted by BKB | — | — |
| 88 | If Avatar expires before the debuff then it will take effect for the remaining duration | — | — |
| 89 | Example 1: Your BKB is active. Jakiro casts Dual Breath (magical, doesn't pierce immunity) on you. You won't be slowed but you will still take damage. It will be reduced by your Magic Resistance, which is increased by BKB. | — | — |
| 90 | Example 2: Your BKB is active. Beastmaster casts Primal Roar (magical, pierces immunity) on you. You will be stunned and you will take damage. It will be reduced by your Magic Resistance, but additional Magic Resistance from BKB will be ignored. | — | — |
| 91 | Example 3: Your BKB is active. Silencer attacks you with Glaives of Wisdom (pure, doesn't pierce Debuff Immunity). You won't take any pure damage. | — | — |
| 92 | Example 4: Your BKB is active. Bane casts Fiend's Grip (pure, pierces immunity) on you. You will be stunned and will take 100% of the pure damage. | — | — |
| 93 | Example 5: Your BKB is active but expires in 1s. Someone used Orchid Malevolence (doesn't pierce immunity) on you. You won't be silenced for that 1 second, but you will be silenced as soon as Avatar expires. | — | — |
| 94 | Example 6: Your BKB is active and you're using TP. Crystal Maiden casts Frostbite (magical, doesn't pierce immunity) on you. You won't be rooted or interrupted unless the Avatar expires before the Frostbite debuff. | — | — |

This collection contains official balance changes. It has no patch-aligned match sample, so pick rates, win rates and performance trends are not established.
Explore match evidence →These notes describe patch 7.33. Later patches may change or remove these mechanics. Historical Facet and Innate sections are preserved as written, rather than presented as current hero rules.
Balance changes alone do not prove a win-rate effect. Compare a stated sample, role and time window before drawing a performance conclusion.
