It's cheese because it means either winning or losing the game very early. Cheese strats are uncommon strategies that typically won't work against opponents which know exactly how to deal with it. However they're used for their surprise factor; for the fact that many teams aren't aware of exactly how to beat it.
Correction - Blademail does reflect damage as Pure. If Shadow Shaman takes 100 damage (after reductions), Blademail will reflect 100 Pure damage to the enemy.
well, euls is probably the better choice (because lower CD, and bkb doesnt work with rearm) and the cheaper too. But the BoT he bought for sure didnt help at all, since he stayed in base anyway. Also he could've gone mid instead of naix, and with the help of CM or someone else a FB or a couple of early kills would not have been that hard against a low hp SS.
Blade mail DOES pure damage. you get pure damage of the damage the bm-user gets "after reduction". this doesnt mean armor reduces blademail-damage... And this strat is nice, but they really should've gone for AA and their lanes were so bad too. and since tinker couldn't defend against blademails, he should've gone split push as soon as he had BoT, or get euls or even bkb instead of bottles and BoT...
To Midas Chen's creep. What else can he get? Taking out a Chen creep is pretty big early on. Vlads armor useless for Keita with all the magic damage. Nothing Lone Druid could have got which stop a push better than Midas that early in the game. Mek? not going to outlast a heal team. Pipe too expensive. Nothing you can get for 2000 gold that'll help in this game. Also sitting on your gold does nothing against push strats.
Nice strat but horrible play early by the tinker. he was already lvl 6 when they started pushing through mid and if he had gone to t2 with soulring + ult + lvl3 march it wouldve been over.

I would like teams to try these cheesy strats more often :) It is very entertaining to watch, especially when it works.
I didnt get blademail on Leshrac, anyone care to explain ? Thanks !
does this mean axe is the direct counter to tinker?
Euls scepter last only about 2.5 seconds while blademails?? 4.5 seconds maybe not a good counter but could work maybe
Tinker 2 bottles?
At 18:07 why does tinker have 2 bottles lol
Why on earth would the Lone Druid get a Midas against their obvious early game strat??
Well played!
To be fair, he said Euls instead of Bottle & Boots of Travel.
Euls: 2700
Boots of Travel and Bottle: 3050 (2450 + 600)
Say "kill tinker, take a tower" ten times, fast!
Blademail does pure damage equal to the amount of damage the user takes after resistance
awesome
Great game.
because dire team have tinker so radiant team need damage reflection for march machine

cooooooooool
Best game what i ever seen!
FOR THE HEAL
I wouldn't call this cheese, it's perfectly legitimate and incredibly interesting.
wow, amazing

I don't really agree with this. They still would have been able to seige the tower, it just would have taken a little longer.
hold ALT while hovering over the tooltip
that was sick ...
WHAT THE HEAL?
what a game
Cheese strat, i like it, ANOTHA! :thor:
EUL SCEPTER ON TINKER WOULD COUNTER THE BLADEMAILS
哈哈，耐似
and does no damage if the guy taking blademail damage is magic immune
now replace "cheese" with "creative" and i am with you
Did you even watch the whole video? Jesus...
wow
-.- MAH RARES -.-
Fun :D
best game ever
were you not listening? It was to counter tinker, the entire team bought blademail. Rewatch honestly...
Keita has weird lanes.
