Sure, but you are going to have to fight them, and you need Blink and most likely BKB too for that. Better to let someone else get your Mek if you want to do that.

no
blink first enigma sucks ass
SR > brown boots > mek > blink > greaves > bkb > whatever (switch bkb with blink and greaves depending on game)

Even a buckler makes Enigma a pushing machine early on. You don't need a blink to get good black holes early on in the game.

I don't remember the last time I saw blink first enigma

like 30 years ago
Even with all the nerfs on it, mek is still pretty amazing on blue boots/soul ring enigma. Then getting blink and transitioning into guardian greaves, you have everything core to Enigma. However this is trench perspective here.

To get effective ones that don't get immediately stop I feel like you do. It's all about the element of surprise, and even if you can't get a perfect 5-man, you need BKB generally.

I hate blink first enigma in most games. On the other hand, it's very hard to fight into an 8-9 minutes mek so that should always be a priority item in my opinion. Sometimes the threat of the black hole is much more powerful than actually using your black hole.

Source: I play a lot of enigma.

I also like getting mek first, but sometimes I go blink if I feel the team would be in a more advantageous position with the initiation provided than a defensive item.

You arent initiating in the early fights if you get mek first anyway, you use it mid fight not at the start. If you just try to walk up to them to black hole you will obviously die, just wait a bit use midnight pulse heal your team and then blackhole

enigma tips? Is the hero just useless if you don't land awesome black holes?

Don't stress about "awesome black holes". If you can use that thing to make sure you get kills on their carry, do it.

Push towers with eidolons, make the enemies fight in midnight pulse, get Mek, get Greaves, Get Aghs, get Refresher.

I Steam messaged you, I can cast it.
 
blackhole important targets, doesn't have to be amazing 4 or 5 ones. If it guarantees a kill on someone important, do it.

prefer arcane to mek to blink strat personally. if you have someone else to stun, you can always walk in you get me.

edit: i can cast it

i honestly think 6 years old swedes are better at communicating in csgo than mumblegaf

im guessing they havent noticed the volume command in the console, cause they dont even call their nades when pushing

Where's C. Viper?
Where's Juri?
Where's Makoto?

Who cares about garbage shoto fuckos like [in extremely Mike Ross voice] Keeeen???

If you think they'd announce them before Ken you're on crazy juice. Hope Juri and Makoto make the initial lineup, though.

I think it'll be Blanka based on this but there's nothing saying we can't get another Brazilian fighter so who knows.

God fucking dammit why does Ono keep shoehorning that annoying ass green goblin into every street fighter game.

That character actually worsens every game it's in.

For the next OT, it should be written as "Dota 2", not "DOTA 2" or "DotA 2", as those are not the correct or current branding stylisations.
 
I just got a notification that something changed with the dedicated server... nothing on reddit yet and SteamDB doesn't list a change... HMMM

THANK YOU. Glad I'm not the only one who is obsessive about this
