General DiscussionNew Blink

and yet threre are still people that pick shadowblade over it >.<

I love when enemy LC pick SB over Blink

amaizing buff for all low int gainers from str pool I think its first change from icefraud that i would rate 9/10

probably one of the best changes in the patch, alongside with nerfs on brood/es.

Its a pretty sick buff for tinker too because usually you blink more than once in a fight, lets say that you blinked 3 times in a fight: 225 mana, now its 0 + 0 + 0 :D

except AM

i think its fucking dumb
why did blink need a buff

Because people can't manage their mana.

My teammates Flamed me for buying Blink on LC instead of SB. QQ

I never really liked blink as an item. I'll throw some of my retarded thought process behind it.

Tempo mids IE : Sf/TA don't really need it. if you just make carry items you can hit that snowball faster. I feel that blink can slow down this process or even stop it. You opt for initiation, instead of like a bkb first for survival. While it does let you sneak up on people, I feel semi-immunity/escape via tp is better if not all goes well.

No stats? I feel that positioning and force staff is nearly better in 95% of situations, etc, where as if you get hit you can't blink out, unless you have like adderall reaction timing to blink into trees or something.

I just think if you position well forcestaff is better, blink is for sloppy or cutesy play.

op blink is opppp

The force staff only has a 600 range, try to initiate with it as es or magnus

Thanks for blink buff valve, my tinker is happy. And I am happy

Sad that I still suck at tinker though :(

I agree there are a few heros that can use it core. I still try to value if the match will allow me to permit a forcestaff in stead however. I get slidestick on tide and a few others but usually on rubick I go blink when permitted.
