Remember when people were arguing about mmr and the relative values of people's opinions
or when tommyt and hylian got mad at each other
this is not so bad. At least its on topic.

I remember SB being way more popular, but I think it was Attacker that made Blink more popular as Satch said. I think most Kunkkas still don't get Blink, but I've seen pros(S4 and Sing in particular) get a shitload of mileage out of it.
Imagine if they bought a damage item instead. Kick sing sing.

This thread got busy and I thought it was the patch. Silly me.
Who the fuck decided this?
False. Any and all discussion of animu is definitionally the worst thing in this thread, or any other thread.

It depends on the place of employment.

SFW if you work at buzzfeed, a porn shop, or an animu studio
The general concept and implications of the item dictate, along with the way the game flows.
Picture it this way, someone who is new to Dota see's Anti-Mage and goes "Oh, this guy has a Blink on a 5 second CD, I should buy a Blink Dagger on this hero so I can move around the map quicker." Then they try that and realize why it's wrong. The same thing can be applied to Faceless Void, Medusa, lots of carries like that. They need real items to succeed.

Void really isn't as item reliant as you seem to think. Blink is actually a pretty interesting item on him. Not my favourite but it certainly has its merits.
What....He is totally item reliant. He's a carry, and if he can chronosphere something, but can only stand there taking 20 minutes to swing his mace, that sounds pretty useless to me.

>item dependent
I'm not sure what I hate the most, blink meta or eul scepter meta. I mean I was so fucking happy that eul got the dommage buff to cancel blink because of the blink meta... but it pretty much didn't stop the blink meta except now everyone make a blink AND an eul.

>item dependent
Your own image contradicts you. His average GPM is close, and on top of that the presence between safelane and offlane is way different.

do you usually put item dependent heroes on the off lane hylian?
Heroes that need blink.

Did you get a TI5 ticket? I pm'd you some gaffer had spares. Did that work out?
He always gets his farm later though. Ideally he shouldn't go offlane. On top of that, if you want examples of item dependent offlane heroes: Clinkz, Weaver, Legion Commander (maybe), Nature's Prophet, Bristleback, Broodmother, Slark.
I debated putting QoP in that list, but decided to leave it out. But sure, you can make a case for her in there.
Also I'm going to TI5, booked my room and flight last night. I'm staying one mile from Key Arena.

a timely blink dagger can net you several pickoff kills in the mid game on a ton of "scaling" heroes, allowing you to snowball and slowing their cores. also, if your team lacks spells to keep the other team in the same position, blink can be invaluable to put yourself in a position to even do any damage.
Like almost everything else in this game, nothing is cut and dry.

oh cool do they have giant aoe stuns that work well with your team if you pick around it and literally all you need to do is get level 6 and land it?
Why are you always implying that the blink is bought as a first item after boots or something? It always depends on the situation and the game being played
You make it sound like buying blink on hero X is just flat out wrong, and that's not how it works. Having the ability to adjust to different situations is a huge part of this game
Also, you can make an argument for just about every hero you mentioned to buy a blink
I'm supposed to care about who can kick a ball the best?
