Authorvermins mana siphon
Why the mana siphon from 102 vermin only gets 10 mana points from the hero? Isn't it supposed to be min(0.25*102, 20)=20 mana points?

The ability isn't correct in English.

Roughly translated from .RU:

Mana siphon:

This creature can steal mana from an enemy hero and distribute it to friendly heroes. Each creature in the stack drains 0.25 mana, but no more than 20 and no more than 25% of the current supply of the enemy hero. Mana is equally divided between friendly spellcasting heroes.

In this situation, when the vermins had their turn, the hero had 43 mana. Since they can only drain up to 25% of the enemy heroe's current supply, 0.25*43 = 10.75, which is why they only drained 10 mana.
Gee. That's a critical piece of information that is lost in translation!
yep, it used to be capped at 20 mana without the 25% rule. Vermins could drain a tribal before they could use more than 1 ritual haha. I believe when they introduced the change, the update on the description for .ru only.
Good old days when DD + Tribal combo in 2v2 against any mage was game over as Sky Shamans could keep zapping from the first turn itself.
When did they change the ability? I didn't even notice that :D
You have to play as or versus DD to know that :)
Looking at your logs, that seems unlikely.
This topic is long since last update and considered obsolete for further discussions.
