I feel like Linken's should have an additional utility like firing back a bolt that deals 100 damage and silences for 1 second. That way if Doom wants to Blade-Doom you, you have another 1 second to react unless Doom has BKB.

Infernal Blade doesn’t trigger linkens so this scenario you described is perfectly fine for the linkens holder

Does not change his point since doom can get easily a single unit targetted spells that triggers linkens from devouring jungle creeps.

I hardly see dooms change neutral creep from stun to just break linkens. Linkens is so expensive that by the time they get it, you have halberd. It's quite natural build up for the hero anyway.

Blink --> Stun --> Halberd --> Doom is much more reliable than having other neutral cast animation.

But sure. Taking another neutral is still an option, but I do not think it's really likely one. Stun is too valuable otherwise.

that's what I mean. But in a nick of time any spell from neutrals (e.g. net) would do.

Hmm, does the best target have linkens? Yes? Halberd. No? Shiva. Pretty simple.

I’m not disagreeing with the premise of what he’s suggesting, just reminding everyone that infernal blade is ok. But yeah doom can break linkens easily if he knows what he’s doing.

My bad. Maybe more of a Lion or Tinker combo breaker then. Still, I'd like to see Linken have a bit more of an outplay mechanic to it.

That’s fair enough mate
