Supporting Tidehunter

Play defensively on the lane. Laning with some stunner can give really easy kills around lvl 4. Ask teammates for gank when hiting lvl 6. Urn can be build as first item. I prefer to max out skills with damage (Q and E). I guess initiating with Dagger and Ravage doesn't need explanation :)

What he is talking about is how Tidehunter's Ravage, which is the main reason people get Blink Dagger on him, has enough range to land 100% without focusing on going for Blink Dagger as a core item. Core means that 99% of the time, those are your items. For a tide, it's more about his Observer Wards, Urn of Shadows, Magic Wand and maybe a Bottle. Blink Dagger is optional, it's only when you are not getting off Ravage on at least 3 enemies or somehow being focused down without getting a good ultimate down.

Yeah it's easy to land if your enemies are terrible.

It's hard to miss unless you're bad.

Yeah that's why in the tournaments everytime someone picks tide hunter, they rush blink dagger. They must be so terrible, opting for the one item that makes your job 10x easier.

Typically they are buying wards, magic wand, sometimes a bottle, urn, basic boots/treads, etc. and they aren't sitting around in a lane last hitting. It's kind of hard to rush a 2150 gold item when you're roaming around the map. If you get the money, sure. All I am debating here is Core.

Show me a tournament match where a Tide has Arcane Boots and Blink Dagger without anything else.

Well, the game that navi just lost, the tidehunter on the other team didn't even go arcane boots.

I'm on the side of dagger. Every tournament I see with tide, they get a dagger when they can. Sometimes they rush it, sometimes it's last in their core. But still, it allows you to get in there fast, and get maximum effect with your ult.

I also just noticed you have blink dagger as core in your Tide guide, Love.
