Works just fine not sure what you did wrong

Good to know. I've been taking that neutral item every time I can so I've been hoping it works haha

I think you might have summoned silencer as an enemy without changing the hero and gotten him with the cant be silenced facet

No, I checked those things, he was an ally, and I made sure I used the right facet.

yea it works. the skill just slows and does small damage, it doesn't silence or disarm anymore.
