Trivia
The Refresher Orb's concept in Dota 2 draws inspiration from the 'Refresh' ability of Medivh, a hero in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Medivh possessed the power to reset the cooldowns of spells, granting him the ability to cast his abilities multiple times. This ability served as a basis for the creation of the Refresher Orb in Dota.
