This really depends on the game, hero, role, and how you're playing (manfighting vs splitpushing).

If you're the most important carry but you're getting disabled every fight by bkb piercing abilities, then a bkb wont help you. However if youre a position 3 who gets mass disabled every fight by bkb blockable abilities, then you might not even want to get a bkb anyways because youre tanking those stuns for your other more important cores.

To shorten up: You don't need a bkb if you're good. Buying a bkb makes you look like a noob that can't position better. /s just kidding btw

Not sure what your point is but yes a BKB is incredibly situational and depends on so many factors. If you're a TA you dont want to buy a BKB since you want your deso/daedalus to blow up supports. But the enemy team is playing well enough to engage fights on you/ keep you under control every fight and you lose fights because of it, then a BKB is a good pickup.

Thanks for the tips. I need to play more to get a better feel when it's good it seems.

You can always all chat "stop focusing me, you retarded fucks" so everyone will focus you. Once they start doing it you will be 100% needing a bkb

If there is any doubt, you should really just get the bkb.

Refusing to buy one because there is something that pierces is like the definitive pub error.

Yeah I agree. BKB allows you to often start skirmishes that turn into fights with an early pickoff when their bkb pierce just isn't there and if you are position 1 you'll likely eat the roar every fight anyways, so why not take way less damage while being disabled.

I've way more often regretted that I didnt get bkb than the other way round.

Thanks guys

Another question, how do you deal with multiple blademails on the enemy team?

If you're not able to pick off them separately, then you can focus on towers, perhaps you'll need to fight without commiting everything and when they activate their blade mails you take a few steps back.

Silver edge lowers blademail damage, right? Never thought about it actually, thanks

yup, 50% reduction in dmg reflected, and it lasts longer than blademail. worth considering on any hero that can buy silver edge

It would be super good against heroes like centaur or axe, since it would disable their passive skills as well, I have to try this. Does it reduce damage if they activate blademail after the break effect is applied? Or do you need to wait for them to use it first and then silver edge them?

silver edge reduces damage output from the affected hero during the duration of the 5 second debuff, it doesnt matter when the blademail is activated. the only thing to be aware of is silver edge "break" is not dispellable, but is blocked by spell immunity. this part will confuse a lot of ppl:

when a hero gains spell immunity (be it from bkb, repel, bladefury etc...) it also removes debuffs. because silver edge debuff cannot be removed, you will still be "broken" from silver edge even if u go spell immune. but, being spell immune prevents the silver edge debuff from being applied. in short, if you bkb before you get hit by silver edge, you won't be affected. if you are hit before u bkb, then activating bkb won't help.

What's the easiest way to cast buffs on teammates in hairball teamfights where the guy you want to buff is surrounded by enemies? It's something I have a lot of trouble with as abaddon.

I have huge problems with that too. A theoretic possiblility if you know who's getting gone on is just click on the icon in the top bar.
But that's usually not where you want to have your cursor, so I assume the actual answer is just to try to improve your precision.
