Pathing, Polymorph

I don't know if anyone is noticed what a clusterfuck it is trying to walk past any polymorphed units, but heroes always seem to get stuck on them. Is this a bug, intentional, unfixable?

It's because of how Warcraft III reacts to super slow units in your way. Pretty much can't fix it except by removing polymorph or making it not slow enemies.

Why not replace polymorph with a stun of the same duration?

I've never noticed it on the Swashbuckler's ult, just on like priests and things polymorphing creeps. Is there any difference?

Swashy's ult sends them off their waypoint, and they don't move as slowly
I think the collision may be smaller

#1 and #4 can be duplicated, #2 and #3 don't matter.

The dispel part gives dispel heroes more to do, adds another counter to massing them and may play a role when unit upgrades are reintroduced and/or when the dispels get remade.

There's a few options..honstly i should probably just code in special triggers to force sheeped units to hold position, but i was planning on replacing the spells.
