It’s a “Black hole” that temporarily sucks the enemy’s units in. Players quickly learned they can send in their units along with the enemies. So the trick is you send in a unit called the Archon which does splash damage. The split second that the black hole ends all the units emerge at the same time in a super concentrated area, so the Archon’s slash damage hits all the enemy’s units at once.
The vortex was never supposed to be damage dealing. It was just a way to temporarily remove part of an enemies army to deal with the rest, and then when those came back you can deal with that. Many players chose to not let their army split up so they would force whatever didn’t make it into the vortex in, effectively just putting the entire fight on pause until the vortex finished.
Then the archons started jumping into the toilet. And hilarity ensued causing a match ending play when the splash damage of the archons would wipe an entire army.
