About this converter
Dota 2 cooldowns decide how often each spell can fire. This page pins max level base cooldowns with no talents, scepters or cooldown items. Lion Mana Drain sits at 6 seconds and Crystal Maiden Frostbite ties it. Light Strike Array follows at 7, Dragon Slave and Crystal Nova at 8, Earth Spike at 11, Hex and Meat Hook at 12. Pudge Dismember costs 20 seconds. Ultimates climb fast: Finger of Death 40, Laguna Blade 50, Freezing Field 90 and Black Hole 160. One Black Hole equals over 26 Mana Drains. All values come from Dota 2 Wiki hero and patch tables.
How to use it
Pick two abilities and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first ability, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total seconds. Try Black Hole at 160 against Mana Drain at 6. Only seconds are used here.
Rows use max level base cooldowns before talents and items. Lion Finger of Death drops 140 to 90 to 40 across levels, so only 40 is rowed. Enigma Black Hole dropped from 200/180/160 to 180/170/160 in patch 7.34e. Meat Hook range and pull distance sit outside this table. Passive abilities with no cooldown stay out, as do item actives like Blink Dagger.
