Fun in pubs with alchy laning against agility heroes who don't get a little str items at the start.
Makes people leave every time.

ive seen damage techies before and hes pretty scary...but the most fun is just arcane and then i get boots and a bloodstone...with this you can mine everywhere

there isnt really a built for techies hes isnt made for combat at all nor as a support just mine at some good place where ppl go EXCEPT NOT RUNES. ppl used that spot so much for land mines theses last years mining runes is completly useless you gotta think outside the box

true story but i leave 1 mine at each rune so that early game rune control is happy techie esp with haste/invis for some easy first bloods

personal favorite build is this: 5x bottles with a raven (leave boots on the birdy) to ferry bottles faster. This is so much better than arcane ring IF and ONLY IF u can get like 2-3 bottles out before lvl 5. If u manage to get 5 bottles with raven with boots, ur good to mass mine like mad.

I do this for fun but of course u better switch to bloodstone/linkens/sheep stick asap. Of course aghn is good too. Reminder this is only a very very fun pub game build, not for like jumpin into tourny games with

Looking for more strats

Bump

Play with a friend, or anyone who has balls really. Mine up any area near any lane. Have you friend stay in lane at low HP until the other team comes to gank him, and lure them to your mines for a triple kill.

Ew. He's more of a regen whore. A bloodstone is more then enough, because you get kills which keeps stacking regen, but then you lack disables like stfu and hax stick.

So you gota use instinct to decide if you need disables to help win battles or just regen for more mines. Either way, you get regen with sheep stick/orchid.

People who says techies can't combat, BS!

I've been like 16-3 with techies before

I like to get techies in all random but if it's AP I get bottle first (I usually mine each rune so i can bottle the runes, making being able to mine easier)

Then I'll go straight arcane ring

I try to save my mana around level 4 for level 6 remote mines (instant kills in pubs)

Lay them in an area where they dont see it (in the lane ofc, just not where creeps are)

2-3 usually kills them early game and can get ur easy 4-5 kills if u switch lanes w/ town portals after u trick 1 person it's easy to trick the next

After arcane i'll get just regular boots, usually fine with them then eventually bot after next few items

People say techies is easy kill thats why i'll generally go bloodstone (AMAZING regen and nice life add!!)

Then I go Guinsoo

After Guinsoo depending on game.. it's hard to say at this point there are so many options

You can lothars to avoid dying, shivas for support slow and nice farming tool w/ 1 mine = full wave dead

One game I even went radiance and Stygian (leaver item, the stygian) and did pretty amazing in battles w/ mines and statis

Techies has so many choices, such a fun hero if u can level him well

Dont be fucking stupid and mine the woods cuz ur losing valuable experience and if u get underleveled ull pretty much be useless pretty soon!

P.S. GEM ON RANGED HEROES IS SO ANNOYING CUZ U CANT GET KILLS ANYMORE!!

put a bunch of mines where ppl walk and blow em the fk up
