one hitters with SoF should hit a blade mail.  

[Whiteboard]

Thats hardcoded stuff.

 - Which may be bypassed if intended.

 

Anyway, ontopic - SoF would loose it's final aspect (after the number of nerfs it has suffered) the invurnability frame.

And further more on the point, I disagree.

 

Blademail is allready an all around "Solve everything" item and doesn't need to counter even more things as it is.

 

Tip for dealing with SoF: Close in on his casting origin. He will eventually return there after striking -> And thats when you can press the offensive on him.

 

- Regards, Whiteboard.

I disagree with Whiteboard here.  Blade mail should always return the damage if activated (unless BKB is used).  If bm is becoming too powerful we could try lowering its cd by 5 seconds.

[Whiteboard]

That includes that other counter mechanics for this item will be rendered useless as well:

 

- Rage

- Repel

- Berzerkers Blood

- Omnislash

- Phase Shift

- Land Mines

- Remote Mines

- Sleigh of Fist

 

Because Bm would always deal it's damage. Destroying anyone at any given time with the exception of BKB being active.

 

No, sorry there are work arounds a Blademail for a reason. One thing should not be absolute.

 

If it did, it would be the core item for any hero, with any build, at any given time, at every game.

 - You could ask: "Have you gotten your BM yet?".

 

It would only be countered by 1 thing, except for stalling out the timer - Satanic / Insatiable Hunger / Ridicilous amounts of lifesteal.

 

No please, dont. Dont enforce BM being mandatory for every game.

 

- Sincerely, Whiteboard.

What is the counter to sleight of fist then?  You can one hit from far away.  It's crazy op with nothing to counter it.  I dont even think evasion dodges it does it?  I just think bm should counter SoF.  Leave the other stuff alone.  Sof means the hero is hitting everyone in that area with a basic attack.  Basic attacks should be counter-able with bm.

Evasions and armors , sof is stupid easy countarable skill , never picked in pro games 

[Jiminy_Cricket]

just stacked armor like crazy, got talisman of evasion, still dont matter.  Especially with the new riki invis the SoF one hit dominates.  You can ward like crazy, you can gem, you can have BT.  Dont matter.  Sof hits from so far back you cant dodge it.

Its your personal problem that u play with noobs who cant ward properly . i can easily kill one hitters with proper caster even  before they press the T key
