IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

TBH TBA is totally overrated


That's why they invited TBD over TBA

omg check the liquipedia page scrub, TBA got invited (alongside other such prestigious teams like TBA and TBA

TBD is going through the quals, because they suck.


TBA and TBA got invited because they were too weak to make it through quals. TBD can make it easy unless they meet TBD early and they knock each other out. That probably won't happen because the whole thing is rigged for TBD to win

oh god here we go with this rigging shit again

TBA and TBA are both WAY better than TBD, what has TBD done in the past few months? Nothing. They lost to TBD for gods sake.

Meanwhile TBA and TBA have consistently placed highly at most tournaments they've been in.

Everyone should get an ability to blink that is on a really long cool down. That would be balanced and totally not like Superior Moba in any way.

Keep blink dagger, just tweek it a little plz.

no you won't, nobody ever quits dota. Blink dagger will get nerfed one way or another i much rather have a 0 mana dagger that is more expensive than a dagger that costs mana to use.

no you won't, nobody ever quits dota. Blink dagger will get nerfed one way or another i much rather have a 0 mana dagger that is more expensive than a dagger that costs mana to use.

Why?

Dagger costing no mana essentially means there's no downside to using it as a general map mobility item item because it doesn't cost anything to use it on CD to get places faster. I'm not sure I like that function of the item and I think having that ability to move around the map like that be generally available to so many heroes isn't necessarily good for the game as a whole.

The primary function of the item is as an engagement item to enter fights. I don't see why it needs to basically be given the secondary map mobility function for free. While I understand the intent of opening up it's usability by heroes that need one but don't have the baseline mana to support it easily if it cost mana, I think there's a balance that can be achieved with a non-zero mana cost that doesn't become overly prohibitive for those heroes while still making people think for a second before using it on CD to zip around the map.

if its not a significant cost it'll be used to zip around the map, if its too significant it hurts heros like ES and SK a lot more

because i dislike the idea to have an item that i use maybe once in 5 minutes after i buy it because iam slardar or centaur and my mana pool is just enough so i can blink + stun. I just think that there are too many heros that buy it because they don't know what else to get and blink is never bad. In pro games there are now on average ~3 blink daggers each game, it used to be closer to ~1. (from memory, i think source is a datdota article)

ah found the source: https://dotametrics.wordpress.com/2014/07/23/ti4-and-6-82-part-2-towers-the-pull-camp-and-blink-dagger/

You might remember that 6.80 removed the mana cost from Blink Dagger. In the preceding patch, Blink Dagger had 1667 purchases in 1341 games, for a rate of 1.2 Blink Daggers per game. Jump ahead to TI4 and we have 625 Blink Daggers in 166 games, a rate of 3.8 per game or more than three times the purchase rate before its buff.

The obvious solution to limit its map mobility would be increasing the cooldown. I wouldn't mind reintroducing the manacost either though.
