General DiscussionBlue Star Reasoning on why blink is good on troll

yea im actually very curious too about why would Blink Dagger aka Kelen's Dagger of Escape be good on Jah'rakal the Troll Warlord in the game of Defense of the Ancients Two

when u need to chase/catch someone

i dont think ppl build blink troll anymore though, its mostly either sb/silvers only or sb/sivlers + blink

Troll's greatest strength is single target bash-fest into kill. To do this, one has to be able to engage and disengage.

With that in thought: Blink Dagger provides:
Escape Mech: Blind + Blink away
Engage Mech: (alternative is Shadowblade, but sentries, dust and gem's are common items against invis heroes).

Without blink, troll can get kited and punished - and being kited is a key component of countering troll.
I personally would still build shadowblade, but that is also why I don't play troll.

blink and hit

you escape faster than you already are

Blink in
pop ulti
press w
perma bash them till death.
Ez +25

Blink on Troll lol

I wouldn't call it core, and Shadow Blade gives more stats vs cost than it used to while building up into a bigger item, but nothing quite solves a hero's mobility problems like a dagger.

Allows you to gap close effectively, maximising up time of bkb whilst hitting a priority target and not getting kited.

I think its good when your team have alot blink user too so you dont waste time walking when your team already initiate

If the enemy has annoying shit like Dazzle and Bane which are heroes that can either save the target you focus or fuck you through BKB, and you have nobody else to do it (a storm spirit or some other orchid-blink-whatever user) then a blink dagger is good to jump on them first.

I don't mean that its core, I never said that, just why its sometimes necessary
