sikle discussed a potential bug involving Underlord’s Pit of Malice in Dota 2

Team Spirit analyst Mark “sikle” Lerman discussed a potential bug with Underlord’s Pit of Malice on his personal Telegram channel, which is related to how stun prolongation interacts with the ability.

The quote is reproduced with the source’s spelling and punctuation intact

For some reason, the Pit of Malice mechanic no longer allows enemies to be trapped in infinite loops when multiple pits are stacked on top of each other. It was a common occurrence where an Underlord with Aghanim’s Scepter would place one field, fly over, and place another, leaving the enemy to switch between “mode: Kodak Mini Shot 3 Era,” getting caught in one loop and then another.

It’s still unclear whether this is a bug or an intentional change.

Earlier, Mark “sikle” Lerman discussed a new Dota 2 item he found in the game console: “It’s still just speculation at this point, since they might scrap the concept, but as it stands, it looks like a new mechanic for a major patch, not a temporary one for an event.”
