This is kind of strange and ridiculous that a card’s text could be this misleading. Flike does not kill dormant minions despite the fact it says “wherever they are” the card here is clearly not following it’s own rules. Blizzard either needs to fix this or change the card.
Nothing dormant can be effected by anything else, they effectively don’t count but it is consistent across all dormant minions, just a rule you have to learn.
Remember being surprised when The Darkness + 3 other minions didn’t trigger MCT but soon got used to it.

No need to get so angry, nothing kills dormant minions, they basically don’t exist.
That doesn’t make sense however, as the card text clearly says “wherever they are” clearly implying it doesn’t matter whatever state they are in applying a consistent effect. My gripe isn’t with the fact it is a “new rule” it is with the fact that :
A) It does not make sense in context of the card text
B) Blizzard has not addressed this or gone to any effort to tell anyone this explicitly or even make this a “rule”. Cards such as C’Thun strictly kept to the “wherever they are” rule where even if C’Thun was dead it would still buff him regardless of the circumstance and from my own testing buffs him even if he is made dormant by the likes of Maiev.
To conclude, my problem isn’t with the fact that you cannot kill a minion with dormant just that it has been poorly implemented with little foresight and has overlooked major aspects of the design that lead to severe inconsistencies in how the effect is utilised
c’thun buffs is a seperate counter not directly related to the card you play.
I am pretty sure that if you play a cthun deck against an opponent cthun deck, then buff your cthun high while the opponent never gets his buffed and then steals his cthun from his deck and play it, it will use the counters you stacked up.
so it’s not the card that gets these ‘plusses’, but a seperate counter entirely and when you play a cthun it just checks that counter to see how big it should be.
