like are u honestly going to argue storm dagger has any point

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?

the actual word of valve blogpost said by end of august

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.


there will most likely be at least a small balance patch with the next patch. There are some big issues with a couple of things right now, vacuum really needs a 2 second nerf.

storm blink dagger is probably the worst dagger i could imagine

Thank you! People always told me my dagger AM and QoP were the worst possible. Good to know I'm not alone in thinking they're not the worst builds.

Jakiro being number 2 is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, liquid fire annihilates towers but it's still weird.

Did you even read the post right?


Blink dagger on Storm makes you able to Solo kill pretty much any one early on thanks to the mana savings.

You can gank just too well. Also, instant stun.

I actually dare you to play 5 Storm games with dagger first storm, and gank as soon as you get it, and then tell your experience.

Storm dagger is ok for initiation. Saves shit ton of mana. You usually can kill anything if you get close enough as storm even without the jump damage. Especially early-midgame.

Didn't dendi buy this once for storm?

i only needed one game of it to see how terrible it is
maybe its faster when storm only has lvl 1 ball, but at 11 its clearly worse

That is the point, it's for the early ganks. So that you don't have to wait for the orchid to gank. Or pray for an haste/dd rune.
