This my friend is a pug:

If you played against pugs I can understand that they lost, even if they were a clan. Besides that clan couldn't be very good if they all decided to attack you with your blademail activated.

unless u mean mirror mode where everyone was playing pugna xD otherwise i think it's still a pretty story because i would love to see the replay. Btw when u play in that pub game, i don't think people who know how to make a clan doesn't know how to stop attacking while u activated return....

just cuz they're a clan doesn't mean anything. 10 4 year olds with internet access can make one Very Happy

@topic: lol. i know what you mean. blademail has become very common in pubs (Battlenet FTW!!) especially it also returns magic damage. seen mamy a witch doctor and crystal maiden kill themselves from it. hmmm...if the entire team used blademail, then an enemy zeus ulted....

It's because in pubs, you see lots of DPS heroes, often with some burst damage, and you also see lots of nukers, who love to KS. So, in leagues, a guy activates his blademail, the other team ignores him, unless can't return any decent amount of damage. (For that matter, it is probably not gold efficient). In pubs, the mentality is "ATTACK THE FIRST HERO WE SEE!!" which is often someone like Abbadon or Huskar, who can tank the damage and bring nukers to half health. Or, people want a cheaper and worse BKB, basically saying "Don't nuke me or you will get hurt."

actually, a PUG is a mmo term for pick up group. so technically any random pub team can be considered a pug.

and yes, people who just play pubs normally aren't going to notice blademail anyways.

wow DS members are so KNOWLEDGEABLE.

pug can only be a dog? lol!

anyway, i get it on most DPS hero when they have some decent hp. it deters enemies from attacking u and gives good bonuses for the price.

The same reason Mortred, Troll and Void are top picks in pubs, along with ksers like Lina and Lion.

in my P.O.V. people are getting blademail too fast

for example. last VIP game, a cm went blademail ASAP, she had 800 hp. most of the times she died before she could activate it.
