what exactly does Nullifier do?

[HoSsTylE | wild OuTTa CnTrL]

have enemy storm, got the money, build nullifier because it says "mute" enemy heroes.

so i try it, and it does NOTHING

hit, bam bam, 1 sec later, storm flies away

HOW?

It mutes his items not his skills. It mutes him from using actives item abilities.

AFAIK, the way it works is this: Silence stops you from using active abilities, but your passive abilities and all items still function.
Break disables PASSIVE abilities, such as evasion, but has no effect on items
Mute stops you from using items with active functions, but does nothing to affect passives.

You can have multiple affects on you at the same time, such as various forms of CC that both Silence and Mute you, for example.

Is that clearer now?



Edit: corrected

Break doesn't stop passives from items.
