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

you realize even if you get those ganks off, blink dagger doesn't do anything for storm's scaling later into the game

also delays your guaranteed disable item by quite a bit, even if you make it up with successful ganks.

and you're also assuming you can't gank without an orchid lmao

and if you were able to manage your mana properly you wouldnt need a blink


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.

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

not that im supporting that dagger build but storm with a dagger will eliminate the early BKB activation dont you think? If you zap in there is still a chance S4 gona pop his bkb in time and RP you.
Im daed. Follow me @TL_NB

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.

i feel like i dont need to ask ur mmr

It's not amazing but it certainly has uses, blink as an item is so broken atm that it literally is viable on every hero. Basically if it say, secures you an extra kill or two and saves your life once or twice the item is already worth it, not to mention the continuous increase in efficiency in just walking around.

It's certainly nowhere near as bad as something like manta first potm
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

are mjollnir/maelstrom procs muted by duel?

and if you have a mjollnir can you shield yourself before duel to get even more procs?


because if mjollnir goes through duel it seems absurdly broken

Apparently the reason certain heroes don't have sets is because you CANT make them for that hero rather than being overlooked like I always thought.

yeah bane/jakiro/io/nightstalker/visage/zeus/AA/some other heroes don't have broken down models released that you could use to make items

okay rofl. Just saw RNGeus at work. A void on my team backtracked 6 attacks/dmg while on 20hp. Including a finger. I was dead, so I was counting out loud on the dota chat the amount of stuff he backtracked through haha

It does vary because often the heroes are either getting reskinned or for a while, their models were not updated to allow for set pieces. They may have all the models updated now though so not sure about that one. But heroes do require their base models and many did not have them (the bald Cm was due to her base model appearing).

Well I imagine it has to do with a variety of variables. Potential reskin, base model, and general probability of items even working. For example, it is easier to make a set for a hero like Furion over a hero like Wisp that lacks certain characteristics. Of course there can be something added, but not the easiest hero to come up with.

All of my favorites are going to be really hard to get items for. Bane Visage Phoenix.

Eventually they will, but I'm curious how they will do it.

we already know SF is getting a remodel, we're almost certainly going to get a zeus and viper remodel as well
