Garrisoning stops fire

[chrstgtr]

A player can stop fire damage by garrisoning that unit. This does not seem right.

This might be a good thing, does it stop poison as well?

I saw it happen in a TG earlier today (I joined late and don't have a replay). The player garrisoned their hero and the fire damage stopped accruing despite the hero having max flames on their icon moments before

Edit:

@vinmemay have the replay

Just wild guess that It has to do something with healing. I think fire and posion disapper if healing starts by temple/cc/healers. To validate that does fire also stops when garrsioning in any other building for example fort?

Thanks! That could explain it. And your test seems like the right one. 

I don’t think healing should immediately cure fire/poison dmg (I.e. if you’re healing at a rate of 1 hp/s and fire/poison are doing dmg at a rate of -5hp/s then I think it should be a bet if -4 hp/s), but that’s a different topic.

maybe he researched the heart from the barracks?

This is already the case.
