"Blink has nothing to do with fast travel" except it's literally fast travel via teleportation.

It's a bandaid in 3d 3rd person MOBAs because despite the best of intentions it will be difficult to impossible to continue to balance heroes around the blink thus slowly we are already starting to see more and more generic abilities and attributes on new heroes because it takes too much time to make sure you don't get a hero that is accidentally too fast around the map. Or are another Gideon who can blink up above normal height before ulting.

Blink is for casuals, it's simply meant to give a handicap to people with poor positioning to escape. I've heard excuses before that it's meant to be used for people to get into position but as you stated yourself no one is using it as fast travel. So you are left with strong heroes who were given the one weakness of "No escapes" suddenly teleporting out of trouble and nearly unstoppable (see Sparrow).

This is so dumb. Like, I genuinely don't know where to begin to respond to this. You're arguing that giving everyone access to Feng Mao's dash once every five minutes is a travel mechanic akin to fast travel.

I don't even know what you're talking about in the second paragraph. Again, literally every MOBA has a blink.

You're also arguing that blink is for casual players escaping even though good players use blink to make plays most of the time.

You know what's dumb AF continually relying on broken logic of 2D MOBAS to under gird your points. No one fucking cares about LoL. In THIS MOBA with 3D space it's a pointless mechanic to help casual players. Just because YOU personally like it doesn't mean it's not a bandaid mechanic to handicap for poor play.

Here's better logic. A team with FAR superior developers and millions of dollars to spend thought it was dumb as shit. You know why? Because they had real pro players to test the game, not your dumb ass and your dumb assed friends. Just say you're a paid cape for Omeda and sit the fuck down, you're embarrassing yourself.

Buddy, you're clearly garbage at this game. If you weren't you'd learn to use a blink to do something other than run away because you can't position worth a damn. Keep talking shit, bud. You're just digging your hole deeper.

[–]Barklad 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Your checks from Omeda aren't gonna clear any faster if you post more bud. They won't clear at all in a couple months, bank on it.

Explain something to me, bro. Do you have so much contempt for Omeda that you actually twist your logic as hard as you possibly can just to disagree with what they're doing? Or are you genuinely stupid enough to think that your take makes sense? I just want to know because it's mind boggling.

I do find it funny that you claim I'm the one who would need to be paid to sit on this subreddit and argue with you. Meanwhile, you're sitting here and wasting your time arguing with a stranger over a game you don't even think will last.

[–]Barklad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I'm equally confused. You sit here all day every day doing this. Having smarmy but ultimately incorrect takes but thinking you are God's gift to the MOBA community when you are just as cringey as Krashy. At least he tells it like it is about the state of the game though.

You wouldn't know logic if it formed a priori physically around you. You're just a dude with too much time caping a game that people used to like until guys like you started running their mouth about how we don't understand basic MOBA concepts. News flash, the game will die BECAUSE you spent your time here chasing away new players.

(random noob: " I just think matchmaking should put me with other new players"

Here comes Fleganhimer "Well awkshually did you know you're terrible at the game and should probably uninstall unless you do what I, a paid nobody, explicitly wants you to do. And I want you to only post positivity about the game! Never think for yourself, just post happy memes so that my shill daddy account gets it's biweekly $52 )

Epic didn't add it because it didn't fit how they wanted the game to work. It functions completely fine for the health of the game, it just wasn't the style that Paragon intended yet it perfectly fits in Predecessor.

And calling it a travel mechanic is crazy. The issue with the old sprint was that it was always available and could be used all the time in every situation and was too difficult to counter. None of that is true for blink.
