Trivia

An interesting trivia about the Pipe of Insight in Dota 2 is that its design and concept were influenced by an item from the original Warcraft III mod, Defense of the Ancients (DotA). In Warcraft III, there was an item called 'Hood of Defiance', which provided magic resistance to the hero wearing it.
