Blink on Tide in General Discussion

    Do you really need it? I mean the range on ravage is huge, and you dont need it to counter initiate as they initiate on you and you kraken shell and ravage. I just feel like having more front liner tanky aura items to keep your team alive so your counter initiation works seems better. you could just buy a force staff and i feel like that would be enough.

      Sometimes you just need to initiate first. Having a Blink is a necessity in such drafts.

      Only in the drafts, where you can afford constantly allowing the enemy to initiate on you it is acceptable to not buy Blink.

        Depends on the tempo of tfs. Sometimes u can just walk in and hit 5 but still lose the game. Gg

          according to my experience, you should only listen to blue stars.

            I mean i guess the question is do you really need a blink when the range on ravage is 1025?

              You definitely don't need it early like a Slardar or Axe might, but it's still a good item to pick up. It can make the difference of hitting their whole team, instead of just one or two people.

                You definitely need blink to initiate. With force staff mid late game tide is useless without dagger as people can pop bkb and ignore tide presence during major fight.

                Tide needs dagger to do double refresher combo

                  Yeah ur right abt late game. So something like greaves pipe/force/lotus blink refresher? If ur behind i can also see faster blink be good cuz it enables picks and turning disadvantageous fights.

                    Tide with vanguard is better xD

                      just rush greaves and take towers, if they come to def position yourself for the dream ravage

                        According to experience listen to blue stars that play more than 1 hero

                          I dont play Dota anymore but wasnt it in 8 out of 10 games a mek into greaves first? You become a tanky fucker then and can Push all Towers down with a pushing Core, so they just can't kill u and need to jump ur Core ->ravage
