[Discussion] Could the old deafening blast really stop BKB and other preventive measures?

Like fire remnant, bladefury, lifestealer's rage ETC

I saw the video earlier where deafening blast was being spammed and the BKB still went through, but I'm not sure that's good enough proof as it may be mistimed (there's bound to be gaps).

I'm on the side of "yes." Most of my replays before the change are now unavailable so all I have is this. But basically you could time it so that it would hit them "before they even fall" kind of thing. You know you've achieved this if it results in them moving forward instead of being pushed back.
