Dota 2
Does all armor reduction stack?
If all armor reducing abilities and items used, do they all stack?
for example dazzle's weave with medallion used on enemy, a team-mate with desolator and AC ... and maybe slardar's ulti too
how many stacks are possible?

you can stack as many effects as you want, however armor only debuffs to a max of -20, anything beyond that isn't counted

They actually count.. But the effects diminishes quite a lot so not much difference. It was in Dota 1 that have max of negative 20 armor.

The number will show but the decrease won't apply
they don't count

It does it's just that past -20 it has practically no effect since at -20 the extra dmagae is 54.5% and at -infinity it's 100%.

"Negative armor in DotA has a cap of -20 armor (71% damage increase). Further reducing the armor will not change the damage increase."

That is for Dota 1. It works a bit different for Dota 2. I'll just put this here

Fair enough

ty for the info, it says it's up to almost -80!

sry -70

Honestly stacking minus armour all the way until -70 is not worth it, the returns are minimal compared to -20.

In addition to this, can i ask if the solar crest's miss % stack as well?
I've come across a huskar taking 3 solar crest, a power treads, mask of madness and he was owning like mad within our fountain area!

It stacks but does so diminishingly so each one gives less extra miss chance.

I was wondering if they stacks with the talisman of evasion alone.
If they do, its quite sick!
Imagine what other tanky but high damage heroes take these in ganking!

Same type of evasion, so no.
Getting two differant items that both give evasion is still evasion
