Unless it's absolutely a killer combo like Magnus, Puck, Batrider, etc... i stopped getting blink and i copy rtz style TA to great success. I've completely ditched the phase/blink combo in almost all of my recent games on TA. items i generally get now; not in order and obviously game specific: treads drums yasha manta deso daedalus bkb butterfly | ||

KotL is useful if you can see yourself vs'ing a trilane as it allows for acid spray spam. Wisp is particularly nice as she gives Alch the mobility he lacks. | ||

Unless it's absolutely a killer combo like Magnus, Puck, Batrider, etc... Blink's not an item you can say is going to be blanket-bad on TA. It's not an item you will buy every game either--it's an item that will have extremely variable effectiveness based on the enemy team composition as well as yours. The nature of the hero is such that having immediate engagement maximizes her effectiveness due to how Refraction works as her primary mode of survivability. Quite simply, there will be teamcomps where fights will not be won by you man-fighting their front-line. There are teamcomps where what's demanded of you is appearing immediately in the enemy back-line, insta-killing an enemy back-line hero and disrupting the enemy formation allowing your team to clean up those front-line heroes you'd otherwise have to fight it out against. Some of the time, faster movement speed will be an effective way to engage this, but frequently it won't be. It's not really a matter of "like" and "don't like". There will be games where you need Blink to fight effectively, and there will be games where you cannot afford to spend 2k gold on a 0-stat item. As a TA player one of the important skills to learn is to distinguish between the two. | ||

Also soul catcher helps boost the already high damage to a ridiculous amount. Others that work well are rubick, or generally anyone with a decently long disable that isn't channeled and doesn't require a lot of mana. Dazzle could work if one of you rushes a medallion since all your damage output would be physical and would do outrageous amounts but is not conventional to say the least (who knows maybe it will become one day.)
