Global

A Global Ability is a type of Ability that may be cast to and from anywhere on the battlefield with no range restrictions. These abilities are exceptionally powerful because they allow you to assist the team while you are busy somewhere else on the map. Global heroes are heroes with long distance mobility allowing them to jump around the map quickly, which is vital on large maps like Warhead Junction.

Some heroes' abilities don't truly cover the length of the entire map but are generally considered global because of their range or unparalleled mobility. These include Falstad's mount Flight, Illidan's heroic The Hunt, Lt. Morales' heroic Medivac Dropship, and Auriel's level 20 Angelic Flight. These abilities are often referred to as "Semi-Global". These abilities, as well as global skillshots like Sgt. Hammer's BFG or Ana's Eye of Horus and other global abilities that require a body to continuously move across the map, like Illidan's The Hunt with Nowhere to Hide upgrade, require continuous ground between the caster and the target: for example, they cannot target the other layer of the Haunted Mines, while other global abilities can.
