General DiscussionShould blademail be purgeable?

That'd kind of make it a shit item and it's not op or anything except on axe and lc so what's the point? If you have to depend on other heroes purging off the blademail on axe and lc for you you might as well depend on them to force staff and euls for you.

Or you can just buy a euls and that doesnt run out of charges

no

id like its cost increased though

well i think it should be purged at least by spells (tornado disrupt etc) or just nerf it some way like doesnt pierce bkb or some shit cuz it's annoying af

But the thing is, it was considered pretty lackluster back when it DIDN'T pierce BKB.

Blademail is pretty balanced, maybe its a tad cheap, and they cud nerf the stats but its overall fine imo

Its low impact on nearly every hero that doesn't have a skill that forces you to auto attack them. And its like the only defensive item active in the game that can't be purged. Who, outside of Axe and LC, would you put it on to even get its gold cost back in damage in comparison to any other core item in the same position? Its biggest counter is focusing anyone who isn't a tank down first; which is what you should be doing in the first place.

In fact, if you do build it on someone that it isn't necessary on, then you are sacrificing other core items and late game for a cheaper alternative. If the game goes late, like any decent player opposing should make it, you would be the reason you lost.

I'd rather Omniknight skill could be purged as it was pre-7.x. Team invulnerability is stupid
