Some items give +10% (or +15%) dodge.
Does it work against abilites or just against autoattacks? Does it work against AoE effects? Does it work against towers? Is the Favor item that gives +15% minion dodge any good for, say, a minion build Oak? Is stacking dodge a good strat?
It's not a bad strategy and I use it often with my Oak minion build.
It WILL dodge:
- Auto-attack
- Any damage over time skills (spit, circle of fire)
- Towers (including Rook's towers)
It will NOT dodge:
- One hit skills or burst/aoe damage (snipe, pounce, fireball, etc.)
I find dodge may scale better late game than an item like Blood of the Fallen and you could be potentially dodging crit attacks or powerful melee attacks. Late game, if you dodge even 2 or 3 attacks from your opponent during an encounter you'd have made up the extra 800 HP from blood of the fallen or other health stacks. Imagine dodging several shots from an Ashkandor/Mage Slayer equipped Regulus 
In my build I will usually go for Pendant of Grace (favor), Assasin's footguards, and Cloak of Elkinkind for artifact and get 35% dodge + my armor and health items. Also 15% dodge for minions FAR outweights the 150HP from Tome of Endurance.
Dodge is extremely good against certain heroes like UB. It's pretty much straight damage mitigation at that point.
I've tried a dodge build before, always felt like i was lacking some hp/ hp regen and or damage. It would be easy to focus a person with dodge build with spit--> boulder roll---> hammer slam ---> grasp.
dodge is a great counter againist crit noobs basically all the 1000-2000 items are extremely useful i usually play ub with just cheap crap and get hol and then upgrade the citadel
going with a shear dodge build is never a great idea
Dodge build would be viable if you could get it to 75% and use sedna.. but thats not the case.
75% dodge would be crazy and on a sedna would be invincible she could chase them anywhere
