Such an underrated hero.

What do you think?

its a fun hero i guess, and he can be pretty awesome if a good player plays him vs no hackers^^

Unless you his remote mines for wards, pretty pointless hero.

still good to push on lanes alone can take towers down quickly: )

I'm too scepter dependant. The range is retarded and the damage is retarded. Team fights, just drop them over and over.

no mention on the ridiculous stun wards? if done correctly you can permastun an entire team, wtf?
also completely anti gank, if against a gank lineup he can seriously just screw them up, as in the first ~1 min 30 he can usually get down enough mines to kill 1 hero at 1 different spot, and at least 2-3 mines on the next spot.
Also scares them from attacking towers, means they have to waste gold on wards all the time.

What is obviously sucky about him is that he has no instant stun/support. He needs to have already placed the mines, until he reaches lvl 7, the cooldown on mines is way too high to do any amount of spamming of mines. Obviously no escape either. Personally i think he needs a guinsoo way way more than he needs an agha, just so that in fights he can help on particular heroes. Item build imo (excluding start items of mass clarities and other crap): boots -> soul ring -> arcane boots -> force staff -> soos.


I don't think he's "underrated" he's just little used because his playstyle does not fit into a lineup.

his damage and stat gain are horrendous

bad hero

Techies is great, but you gotta know how to play it properly. I've only seen maybe 1 or 2 good ones.

so does SF. Without skills his damage is one of the lowest and his stats are just as bad.
That's like saying maiden is played for her base damage, it influences it the tinyest bit but no.

If we're adding skills then techies certainly wouldnt be the lowest considering remote mines have short cooldown and can basically be spammed in a teamfight whilst he just sits on a stun ward.

yeah your right. a good techies would need items to help support. guinsoo helps to disable but getting mechanism is really good too. when a teammate is running you can heal and some1 might chase them and ur teammate can lure him into mines
