I don't think so. It is an item for supports, and 2k gold on a support is significant. Having it cancel TPs doesn't really add a lot more value to it. Supports will still pick it up because of the fairly cheap build up and the utility. The added bonus of canceling a TP would be just that, a bonus. How often are you canceling TPs? Does it not cancel Engima's ultimate?
I am pretty sure it did cancel it. I wish I could search for more, but work has pretty much everything blocked.
No, FS never cancelled TP, not ever.
I played unhealthy amount of Dota 1. Icefrog would never introduce a super cheap 2000g mass-able item that would both push and cancel TP.
Eh, maybe not. But for some reason I remember it doing it. But, then again, I hadn't played Dota since around late 2009 / early 2010.
I also don't see why a silence would be silly for canceling a spell.
TP is not a spell. It's using an item.
I know it's not intuitive since TP is the only item in the game that requires channeling.
Dota 2 is fully of crazy, consistent, and inconsistent mechanics.
When silenced, you cannot use TP though right?
On another note, are there any Dota 2 heroes that play similar to HoN's Monkey King? I really love the playstyle of that hero and wish I could find something similar in Dota. Doesn't even have to be so "omg wtf pubstomp" either. >_>

I think I saw a brief clip of Monkey King long ago.
He skips back and forth and continues to deal increasing damage through his combo yes?
Bristleback is your friend. Scary pubstomper when you dive tower at level 3 (with 1-1-1). At level 6+, he becomes quite fast too.
Bristleback is totally different. >_>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddaamg5zdkE explains his skills. He just has a lot of fluid movement in fights and I really like him. His combo is more similar to Tiny than anything Bristleback does.
I also have a question about Earth Shaker, and since I am on my way out can't test it. If I am Dire and go bottom on Earth Shaker, can my Q block creeps, or at least force them go to around near ancients so I can pull / deny them?
Man some of the attitude that players have really aggravates me; just played a game where naix dc'd for 4 minutes, then finally comes back and just hangs out in the jungle literally the entire game while our base dies. Then he has the nerve to talk smack over the voice chat.
Well, don't think I've won a game on this account solo queue. I should probably stop picking gankers and play a carry, but that is boring. =(
I just want one team where the lane I am not in doesn't lose.
As Bastion says, "Nobody likes to play support, yet everybody likes to win".
If you want to win, play support. If you want to win your lane, play support. If you want to be a nuisance to the enemy team right from minute 1, play support. If you want to be thanked by everyone worth getting thanked by, play support.
Arguably, playing support is harder than carrying, but it forces you to learn a whole lot of stuff about dota mechanics you wouldn't learn otherwise, and it teaches you about positioning, warding, pulling, stacking, and generally getting gold and exp when you can. Most importantly, it teaches you how to play from behind, because as a good support you'll almost always be under-leveled and under-farmed and an easy pickoff for the enemy team.
Playing support IS harder than playing carry. Good supports dictate the pace of the game, and are the ones who get stuff done early game. Of course, just sitting in lane with your carry, soaking up XP and trying to out last hit him doesn't make you a good support
This.The worst is when you are playing support and the idiots on your own team don't understand why you are under leveled and lacking items/gold. Or why you sacrifice yourself when you see a gank coming for the carry and he didn't see it yet and when you sacrifice yourself so he has enough time get away safely and in the end for any/all of the above your team gives you shit and starts calling you shit.
I prefer support roles, but man pub games can really aggravate you sometimes.
