Maybe that was akke. I also seem to remember LD saying a good player who only does random stuff when playing solo thus having a low mmr. Don't remember who that is though. about blink dagger on Storm: It's more than legit..
Not really.
You can say you save mana by using blink, but it also gives 0 increased mana pool and 0 increased mana regen.
It's so much gold on an item that gives you 0 stats. That's like half an Orchid and Orchid is one of those items that the earlier storm gets it, it becomes way more dangerous. Like Storm's Orchid and Weaver's linkens has pretty similar timings. If you can get Orchid before linkens you can solo kill weaver and delaying it a lot further. But if he get linkens when you get Orchid that is no longer a possibility.
If you have that much mana problems with Storm you just need to play him better tbh.

Can I hear some opinions on when we are finally getting the next balance patch?
Weren't there rumors on reddit about it being released in last week already?

Don't make a blink on Storm early. Like I could see it being good lategame when the storm is the only hex carrier and initiator and you absolutely 100% need to hex a guy before he bkbs to win a teamfight and win the game, so you buy the blink and smoke as a surprise or some weird shit like that. :D

Almost 5k mmr here can confirm that dagger on storm is actually legit versus certain line ups. I can't be bothered checking dotabuff for item win rates but I'm pretty sure storms who go dagger have higher win rate than storms who rushed orchid.

^ Just checked, it's about 60% for blink (10k or so games) and 52% for orchid. (1.5 mil games)

winrates on dotabuff means nothing
rapier has like 200% winrate, should you rush it every game? no

But unlike Rapier, blink dagger does not drop upon death. But I agree, it's not good against all lineups

its garbage
the reason why it has a high % wr is because people buy it when they won
people forget that ball lightning actually deals a lot of damage

storm blink dagger is probably the worst dagger i could imagine

MFW WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO USE DOTABUFF ITEM WIN PERCENTAGE AS JUSTIFICATION

Blink Storm is an OK item after Orchid + Hex (+ BKB) I think. Blink Hex is still the best initiation there is for pick-offs, and you save mana on the initial zip

i have 47% winrate with a tp fuck whoever said always carry tp u suck

You do 96dmg with lvl 1 ulti if you initiate at 1200 range and use like 35% of your mana pool and after the combo you are most likely out of mana to chase and you've done 400dmg at best. Totally different situation if you have blink though.

The Valve post didn't say anything about a balance patch though, just compendium stretch goals and Techies.
The reddit thing was confirmed to be some guy making shit up for attention, and both Matt and Bruno have said they don't expect a balance patch til September at the earliest
The post TI2 patch took about a month (the tournament ended on September 2, patch went live on October 4), while TI3's took over 2 months (August 11 vs. October 21). 6.79 was a huge patch though, so I wouldn't expect 2 months. Late August is a possibility, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't til September.
