You're kind of twisting things, I was only implying how an inferno would be cheaper, more worth the cost and simply better. I don't care what the point of blind gate is, I already know and I don't care. Stop making reading your posts seem like reading riddles and don't twist things to make it seem like you're a victim. Skele's post also just proves my point. V + bg is too costly.

EDIT: now that I think about it a little more, even though infernos + bg is less costly, that's almost as expensive as a giant and not nearly as good. So getting blind gate might not be worth it like skele said.

So you wouldn't spend 550 gold to get control of his mage(s) and wreak havoc on his base
eg. killing all his miners

550 + my inferno or v against 1 ninja? Hell no. I like not having to spend 2x gold to counter my opponenet.

The whole point of a blind gate is so that they cannot target the troops within the blind-gate.

Since the enemy can't target ele units behind blindgates, they'll practically function like Castle Units. This is just a theory, but maybe blind gate can be used to attack with fire and airs, while a charrog remains to tank.

But of course a simple stroll past the blind gate would fix the problem. >.>

I'm aware this is an EvO discussion, but blind gate is also handy to prevent single targeting spellcasters like medusa from being effective.

In the end the biggest problem that seems to lie within is the price alone, as well as attempting to utilize with builds... -.-

Which is why it should only be used to rekt turtles.

Just saying but can't a shinobi walk past through blind gate, render it useless (lol it already is) and target the V then?

You.can.foil.that.attempt.quite.easily.as.before.he.walks.in,.his.cursor.will.be. indicating. a .random .spot. Simply .freeze. him.

Any AoE and you don't need to see them, ninjas and you just need to walk past it to find the target (waters can't do a thing because you can shinobi out of the freeze) and archers can shoot past the gate anyway.
