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.

no they couldnt because that would ruin every hero that actually needs it...

It used to cost 75 to blink, but yeah, its still a bad change due to gold cost.

20 second cool down, so it might be on cool down when you need it.

6.78 also decreased the cooldown so it was buffed in 2 (3 if you count pudge+vs purchase) of the 3 last patches. I guess that's fair and doesn't break blink initiators.

I don't think 600 increase would break it that much, with the periodic gold increase at 10 mins you receive +250 gold than before, 350 gold is like 2 more waves (1min).

I also think blink has too much range. Force staff, an item that requires a bit more skill to use has half the range and costs mana. I think that a range nerf on blink is warranted, people get away with playing too much in the backlines and engaging. Heroes which rely on a blink to initiate can afford to stand 200/300 units less away from the front

youre forgetting force works on teamates and allies dude

Blinkdagger cooldown increased for melee and ranged heroes seperately. 20 sec for melee 24 for ranged.

Melee heroes, who actually need the mobility now still have it, but the CD makes it, so you can still have it as initiation /escape (manage your Cds. I'ts late idk how to put it in a proper sentence), while ranged heroes now don't have a ridiculous 24/7 uptime on their enemies. Numbers are adjustable obviously, but that'd be my way of going to balance Blink if I'd have to.

I personally don't want blink dagger to get its mana cost back (preferably nerf something like range/CD) but I wouldn't be suprised if the mana cost becomes a certain % of current mana

Force staff on supports leads to bigger plays. Everyone loves a good forcestaff save or initiation.
