Well in the idea from a stun would sure make sense if you got hit by a giant rock then sure you would be stunned so the implement would mean more skill would be required however the siege creeps target towers and other siege creeps first so you it would be the lowest possible chance in the game due to everything that has to happen in order for that 1 seige creep to target you. I believe that if it was tested first and if it seemed to low of a chance to worry about all game then sure.

I am honoured that it's your first ever post on that site and it's in my thread, Demon_Cloth.

Yes, siege creeps in most situations ignore heroes, so the chance is very small anyway. It could be tested, but even if it would be a very rare chance, even a mini-stun would be too much.

Then maybe the buff could be that they don't attack the other catapult first.

I think this is a great idea! I think those who are a little scared of this interrupting channeling abilities are worrying over nothing. First off 15% chance is very reasonable. 2nd why would a siege creep be targeting you? with all the heroes around the chance of picking the one channeling an ult is really slight. Especially with someone like enigma blinking in the creep aggro shouldn't be on you. Also BKB!!!

During the laning phase when no one' sat a tower catapults target creeps. Even a stun on a creep is somewhat helpful. I just don't think it would affect heroes at all.

The same reason a siege creep would kill a courier. We have concrete evidence over this one. Bash effects go through BKB.

Yes it could happen. There would be no point in it if it never happened. But it's very unlikely. And tbh something is going wrong somewhere if your courier is getting killed by siege creeps. Just as something is going wrong if you are drawing aggro from an entire creep wave while using a channeled ability. It's bad positioning.

The OP says "What if Siege Creeps had a passive ability to do a Mini-Stun with 15% chance" mini stun not bash. Although I could see it working like Headshot extra damage but no stun through BKB.

And let ranged creeps crit and melee creeps have an orb of venom slow while were at it.

No, the melee creeps get a chance to insta-kill on hit >8D

But to counteract that ranged creeps have a chance to banish you, giving you a chance to survive the instakilling mellee creeps kappa.
