Unusable on Deathwing even though it says “Usable on Unstoppable players”
Yeah, apparently he behaves like a Vehicle. Vehicles are also unstoppable but aren’t affected by Maw.

To phrase it in a way which highlights the codes (game logic, explenation) behind it, DW is immune to Stasis (like Devouring Maw) and can only be effected by TimeStop (like Void Prison, Time Trap, Leyline Seal).

This is interesting actually, because there are 3 statis effects that affect enemies: cocoon, gorge and maw.
Maw is the only one that affects unstoppable heroes, but DW is immune to it.
DW is actually the first hero completely immune to stasis.
I can only make educated guess on how and why this is the case.
Gorge: it programed to start with a “pull” (getting eaten) so it can’t be started on unstoppable Heroes.
Cocoon: it’s a projactile which probably coded to start as a debuff which breaks on landing on unstoppable Heroes.
Maw: big aoe nomnomnom!

He is some sort of a pseudo-Vehicle. Can’t Maw him but you can block him with Zombie wall unlike a real vehicle such as DK. Debuffs and blinds also work on him unlike protector/dk and he can tap fountains.
Just a strange hero overall. But fun.
