TARGET MODE none

Whenever the Tarmogoyf is dealt magical or physical damage above that of 40, he begins to stack armor or magical resistance until the opposing damage type is inflicted, at which point the stacks reset. ? TALENT EXPLANATION: Instead of Armor, stacks Evasion at 4%/5%/6%/7%, stacks diminishingly with other sources.

When levelled, grants Tarmogoyf additional 10%/15%/20% of his own attributes. Tarmogoyf respawns with 10%/20%/30% of that attributes or the hero that landed the finishing blow. In addition, if that hero had a main attribute, he adds another 4%/6%/8% of that attribute. If not, he adds a additional 1%/2%/3% of each attribute instead. If he did not die to a hero, instead act as if the ability was levelled.

Innate Ability. Instead of gaining experience, the Tarmogoyf levels up based on its number of last hits and hero kills and assists. The number required continuously rises. Hero kills automatically account for 40% of the current level requirement, and assists count for half that much. + Does not leech experience near allies - Must get last hit for it to count - Denies don't count.
