that's a bit misleading.
it was discovered that if you stay out of vision and cast raze, the other player does not get stick charges. that was the 1v1 shadow fiend bot a year ago though.

"Sumail pointed out that the bot had learned to cast razes out of the enemy’s vision. This was due to a mechanic we hadn’t known about: abilities cast outside of the enemy’s vision prevent the enemy from gaining a wand charge."
That's not an undiscovered mechanic in the world of Dota - that's been known for a while and at least documented since 2015 https://dota2.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Magic_Stick&oldi....
I wouldn't be surprised if it was known before then, I certainly remember this from a while back.
Again, if that's not what it was, then I take back what I said, but if it was, I do think that statement is misleading as written.
