        If someone silences you i guess you may still blink away i guess.

              its good if you want to close the gap on a hero without wasting a remnant, or if you already have a safety one behind you

                Initiate with your bolas without the messy and slow spirit initiation, save spirits for escape/damage. Some people were getting shadow blade for this so I guess it's the natural skill evolution.

                  its never purchased for initation or using searing chains. its used for an escape. of course, that doesnt mean you cant use it to initiate or catch someone...but thats not the purpose of buying it.

                    blink is very useful for every hero. For example, you can escape easily from void's chrono with dagger that is hard to do wih ember's ulti.

                      @hal, It is much harder. I escaped Void ulti quite a lot with remnant, as it demands click in any map area and It is faster than double click or click where u choose particular place + it can't be blocked by any damage... 0.1 second for understanding that blink is in 3sec CD and u in chrono

                        ^ you have to use remnant first before you jump. If you didn't use remnant somewhere else safe, I'm sure you can't escape from void's timewalk+chrono unless that void is a slowhand. But if you have a dagger, just double click when void jump in with timewalk. Click, click, and leave void alone in his chrono. ez Kappa.

                          pros not using remnant early and not abusing the no turn rate no cast time escape is a mistake

                          blink lets you jump away if they orchid you, but you could just go diffusal or manta instead

                              @hal, well, Im always concerned to have remnant in safe place, this playstyle i saw on attacker stream and really liked it
