Huge Inconsistency on how Attack Speed Slow / Buffs work on Illusions.

Most people who played Dota 1, know that because of engine limitations, Illusions couldn't gain raw attack speed from items, buffs or auras.

With the exception of Endurance Aura and Attributes.

Thing is, it's not the same for Dota 2.

There are skills that increase / reduce the attack speed of illusion and there are skills that don't.

Can Valve make it more consistent? It's better for the game, just like at that time where you removed Composite Damage from the game and made a bunch bunch of skills Pure Damage / Magic Damage with defined rules for how they work.
