Today I learned why sometimes an instant or quickcasted ability does not take place, and I made this video explaining it.
If an ability is activated during some frames of attacking animation and then doing a moving command, the ability is cancelled even if it is instant or quickcasted.

I don't know if this is well known, but I feel now greatly relieved after knowing why the hell my ETC does not cast Face Smelt someties when bodyblocking and stutterstepping. I used Diablo in the video because it's easier to reproduce, but i think it happens with almost all heroes.
What do you think? I dont like it at all. If I cast an ability and i'm not stunned, I want that ability to take place! I'm not going to regreat that in less than 70 miliseconds, so please dont cancel it.
