General DiscussionTechie Trouble

u get a rubick and do the same

Techies can actually hurt your team a lot more than you know, this goes both ways. While he is so amazing at these traps and getting kills etc what hurts the most is that if it goes late game, techies will do very little.

need mod for auto pick techies :P

plus most heroes have received tweaking before entering dota 2 client, maybe techies will too.

Techies is the hardest hero to play correctly, even meepo is not close in terms of difficulty, but well, great techies win game by theyselves.
On the other hand all other techies (mostlikely all human but 2-3 choosen on earth) just make their team lose.

why is he annoying? what are his skills?

just fucking pick dazzle, get blademail and gem. find mines and blademail + grave. move on them
#worht

Oh ya , blademail works on bombs , why didn't I think of that ?
Turn on blademail
Bomb explode
Damage returns to the bomb

@b u t t e r b o y s

Or abaddon... But you can't get these items so fast. When you get them, he should depend on the ultimate and no on the land mines..
Ultimate with aghanims is pretty OP..

Nature propeth is good against techies.. You send 1 or 2 treants to walk around to destroy land mines and you can buy orchid to avoid suicide..

I've heard good things about sentry wards and gem, maybe this will force those greedy supports to buy sentries at the start of the game.

Yeah, abaddon would work too. However, to be fair. Dazzle doesn't need blademail.

Get bloodseeker or some normal blademail carry to get blademail asap and you can do the trick aswell. It's probably more of a troll strat than anything else though.

Just as when I was playing Skywrath vs. Pugna. Bought blademail and like 9 hots. Ran into nether ward, blademail and ulted some random place.

Skywrath (SuperVGODfan#1) has killed Pugna (fuckintrashbogidoto)

illusions/gem/treants/anything fucks over techies

Two words:
Nature's prophet

Techies actually can be viable with all the mines/traps/remote bombs giving free map coverage, im sure its potentially pretty good counter to smoke. I havent actually played a techies game after they introduced smoke of deceit in D1, so i'll leave it at that.

Techies Aghs is also strong for turtling and pushing (lvl 2 remote bombs w/ aghs insta kills creep wave afaik with decent aoe to boot). Blademail isnt a counter to techies rofl, it only counters a retarded person who doesnt know how to play techies.

im gonna fucking main captains draft when techies is out and everyone realize he is garbage tier shit cunt hero

playing with 3k-4k mmr players > dealing with techies

would be nice if techies was against me tho :> free wibbies

yea blademail...
but !
blademail also used to work against rhasta wards.. also death ward, so I wonder if they gonna fix it or remove blademail for mines

Playing against techies is like playing Minesweeper...only a bit more interactive and twice as boring.

noobs this is not call of duty. if you think techies will stack mines on rune and camp for you for the whole game... You are in for a big surprise.
He can kill your towers with 4 mines. all he has to do is plant a mine on your t3 and towers goes down by a quarter of it's hp. your gems won't save you today
Also, rat doto counter.

But who is good against Techies then? teamfight wise, lane wise, etc. I didn't play Dota 1 or anything like that.

range hero, tanky hero, illusion hero

techies has 2 general play style
1. retarded suicider
2. retarded miner

any hero with silence kills him b4 he suicides u
eg. drow, dp, bs, lion

any hero with enough hp / proper warding will clear techies mines
if he goes tower mining, your heroes are playing something wrong

He is a troll hero, best there is

in dota 1, even if u get beyond godlike in techies, your team might still lose

but you'll laugh your way to defeat, at least

Techies + Tinker for the ultimate turtling capability

Suicide cast time sucks! It's like you'd try to land a leshrac stun at melee range.

Zeus and Necronomicons also counter him quite hard.

Just get a nyx with a gem.

Easy.

techies is gonna be another rat

blink techies with stasis is going to be a nightmare

6 second aoe stuns on top of rp/black holes/vaccuums incoming boys

not to mention remotes are fucking obnoxious

Reminder: aghs range got nerfed
Reminder: suicide is with 3 minutes cooldown
Reminder: techies got nerfed hard because IceFrog said that "techies players asked for suicide to get the xp" so now you actually steal the xp from your carry when you suicide and you can suicide 3 times less. GG TRASHCANS TY FOR RUINING MY HERO NO RE

its still a guaranteed first blood, and the hero with a blink is incredible

Sentry, sentry everywhere

back in dota1 i always picked morphling to counter techies.
just have someone get a super early gem, basically pass the gem to anyone about to get replicated then use it to detrap/bait traps w/e

Mines on highground = gem doesn't help

Common sense = Doesn't move to places with no vision

edit: feel like a stalker

oh so we just need to look at the ground all game

nice

i think after a week or two mine spots will become predictable, ie, rosh pit, the stairs to the dire anchients, secret shop, so a good centaur with blademail should fuck him up.

oh and nightstalker/kotl aghs +gem.

or necrobook

illusion or minion heroes > techies.

PL, TB, NP, Lycan, Naga, enigma, enchantress...

I dont give a fuck my pubs are still going to be ruined if they are on my team or in the enemy team
