When blinking, you will teleport towards your target up until your boundingbox intersects anything, at which point you will stop. So aim a bit high. Also, to minimize your boundingbox, crouch before blinking.

The "wall" they were talking about was a doorway full of mines, IIRC. So no, you don't blink through walls.

This is true, its a common misconception that whereever you point you go there instantly. Imagine getting stuck in teh wall after a teleport :/

Its kinda hard to use but you aren't gonna need to be using it again and again and again in many situations and i find thats when it doens't work at all.

Am I the only one who thinks you should be able to blink through welds?

Blink is line-of-sight, in otherwords you have to be able to see something to blink to it, which would explain the lack of blinking through walls. You also have to watch your energy, if you run out you can't blink anywhere.
