Lifestealer with BKB in General Discussion
BDD

    I was watching Murs play last night and saw a Bounty hunter grab a blink dagger, which reminded me of playing against a lifestealer who went BKB after armlet. I can see the attraction to having BKB so you can effectively have 19 seconds of magic immunity in the first big team fight but I was wondering what you all thought about it on lifestealer in general? Any of you ever go BKB LS?

      It rly depends on the hero's you are playing against and how good they can out run you.
      I build Bkb once or twice on lifestealer mostly its not needed.

        I find deciding what to build a slightly puzzling affair sometimes. It seems to me that sometimes you build to accentuate your skills or attributes and enhance them, think building attack speed on alch for example whereas other times it's a bad idea, like mom on lifestealer.

        Doto, y u confuzzle me so.

              Depending on how much CC the enemy team has, I can see it being a good choice if you're behind. Definitely situational.

                  Ah yeah I thought that could really be the only reason for BH to get blink tbh. There were some lawls in the chat when he got it though :P

                    The only time I got BKB on naix was in this game out of 61 naix games I got http://dotabuff.com/matches/77054250

                    Reasons:

                    1) refresher tide who would wait out rage
                    2) unable to kill anyone fast due to ghosts/forces/8 sec ship reduction
                    3) getting hexed/hazed/ravaged the moment i get out of rage

                    I mean there was no better item for this game, but it's the item you buy in 1 out of 100 games on naix

                      Situational, if you use it after Rage, by the time the BKB wears off, Rage will almost have come off cooldown. I assume it's cooldown change to 17s was to allow 1 second of non-immunity if a Naix did get a new BKB. You could potentially get 23 seconds of magic immunity, which will probably guarantee you magic immunity for an entire teamfight.
