Olivier Devries no I havent *shrugs in shame* what I meant was it looks smooth on this vid. But I think if you turn off camera shakes and all those effects, you'd get no packet lost at all. Or if noone just doesnt play techies then problem solve. LOL
I am sure that a lot of people will learn to clear areas and scout with illusions etc. Gem on naga will be devastating to him. However a last picked techies will probably dominate as nobody will have picked a well needed counter.
Changes to Techies have been made since this video was released. This list will contain those changes (not including number changes, since they are very frequent) Land Mines have been replaced with Proximity Mines. Proximity Mines: Plants a mine which deal 225/400/575/750 to any enemy caught within the explosion radius. These mines explode when you have stood within the blast radius for 1.6 seconds. These mines are invisible most of the time, however if any hero comes within a 400 radius of the mine it will become visible and killable. The mines have 1 health. You can't put one Proximity Mine next to another. Statis Trap: Now roots the enemy instead of stunning (he can still cast spells and turn, but can't attack or move). No longer has a detonation delay, and will explode as soon as the activation delay is done and there is a hero within the radius. Suicide Squad, Attack! has been replaced with Blast Off. Blast Off: After charging the spell for 1 second, techies will launch towards the targeted area, exploding when he lands. The explosion deals 300/400/500/600 damage to heroes in the area and silences them for 4/5/6/7 seconds. Techies will also take 50% of his health as damage from the explosion. Techies can deny himself with this ability. Aghanim's Scepter: No longer increases damage radius (but still increases damage and cast range). Now also upgrades Minefield Sign. This ability wasn't mentioned in the video since it did nothing at the time. Without Aghanim's Scepter it will place a sign which does absolutely nothing but confuse the enemy. With Aghanim's Scepter it will make all mines in a 125 radius around it immune to true sight. The sign lasts 180 seconds and has a 360 second cooldown. Remember to like this comment if it helped you, and feel free to ask me any question.
there's loads of counterplay. Techies can stall the midgame, but they can't win the lategame without a good carry on the team. A carry with bkb and 30 armor breaching the choke point is something, techies can't deal with. The mines do composite damage, so with high armor, you shrug them off and remotes don't pierce bkb. Another way to deal with techies can be seen right in the CURRENT META. 5man deathball pushes right from the beginning screw techies over, because they don't have the mana base to stall out the siege of an otherwise doomed tower at that point of the game. There's 2 things, you shouldn't do against techies: 1) run around the map like an idiot 2) death ball up a choke or into a tower without any true sight
Techie's landmines deal composite damage, which means the damage is reduced by Armor and Magic resistance, adding that with, as others have mentioned, Blade Mail is an amazing way to counter and kill Techies. However, if you really want to counter Techies, pick a ranged hero with a Gem or, again, Zeus.
I'm gonna make a sacrifice for the next 3 weeks or so: -Pick Techies as fast as possible. -Wait until everyone else picks/ 3 secs on the countdown. -Repick -Watch everyone get mad at you for stealing their chance of being dicks -????? -Profit!!!!
aqp6000 Well to be fair, after blizzard's epic failerino of not recognizing DotA potential at a time, they actually managed to do okay-ish with this. Hots is an odd game i surely will never play, but can see it easily getting a decent audience.
Volthoom I'm not entirely certain that it was Blizzard "not recognizing DotA potential at [the] time", I read that they had said that they wanted DotA to be made by the players, for the players and thus not be 'privatized', if you will. I could be wrong though.
***** But it was not in DotA 2, also League is more known to people and by so Teemo is more hated by people, making this sentence an optimized joke to understand for the biggest possible group of people. As I feel now more intelligent now by this swell of english words in a probably most hurtful english grammar, I want to rephrase you to climax my comment, you ignorant scrub
i'm one of them so i don't know of the others,but still of all games i have played in in dota 1 techies was rarely used in game so i think few know how to properly use him,played him a few times and enjoyed him especially if there's an enemy ursa wanting to get aegis early game ahahahaha
Leon T they really aren't, really really really, count how many people play dota 2, divide it by 2, there are not more than that from the warcraft era.
***** making money off of a game is one think and selling it is another, plus his design, voice and all tells that he is a troll, so having that pic is just perfect. as for the copyright part who would Sue them exactly?
Take note that the mines and suicide both deal composite damage. While this does go through magic immunity, it is also reduced by both magic resistance and armor, thus they will deal significantly less damage to heroes than is listed on the tooltip (and even less as the game goes on and people get more armor).
Fabricio Osuna Pretty sure he'll be in ranked. How do I know? Because you don't want him to be in Ranked. Our Lord Gabe knows your suffering and is only too happy to help you suffer.
Static Trap tip: -By having more than one ST in stun area destroys all others, but place second ST 1 second after first one stuns target, enemy cannot move out and you get to double stun duration! -While it takes 2 seconds for ST to stun target(s), fast attacking melee hero can take out ST before it goes off.
bunnyfreakz i don´t know man, there´s a lot of "dota 1 veterans" that always wanted techis. It´s no like when they added phoenix and terrorblade that a couple weeks later, the hero wasen´t pick that much. I hope you´re right :( pubs are going to suck tho
Btw guys, blademail returns the damage from suicide squad attack, and while you migth die, the damage is reflected before techies dies, and you will get the kill
@@arminarlert1953 None of the skills he was introduced to the game with remain in Dota 2 now. The hero has been completely changed, practically removed from the game due to these changes
HOW IS IT FAIR?! There is no point to play a melee hero anymor cuz even if u get the true sight u'll do nothing about a bunch of freaking one-shot bombs blocking your path! no point to make BKB...and a big reason to sit still on the base before the horn cuz this shit will get FB on you whenever it wishes! GG, gentlemen whe have an IMBA here!
If you have a gem, and you know they are there. Why the fuck would you run into them? You can just run around them, get a ranged hero to come clear them or have someone spawn units to blow them up.
you probably don't realize the mana cost, cooldown and the delay this skill have... Believe me, playing a good and winning Techies is really far from easy.. not to mention true sight
if u think about it he is not.. he is counterable in so many ways,most heroes can easily counter him.And a gem either by a ranged hero, or a non-ranged tank with blade mail will do the work..
To be honest, i don't really know how Techies will work in DOTA2. But my point is that in DOTA blademail work with shadow shaman's, , WD's and Venomancer's wards. BUT it don't in DOTA2.
no need I already raped so many techies on test with zues

Techies look like the stupidest hero in the game. 3/4 abilities are countered by true sight, I swear on my grave if someone picks Techies on my team then I'm picking Riki to encourage True Sight buying.
Read above, and also, except for Stasis Trap, the bombs can still be effective - still deal damage. If you are unable to work your way out of such situations, then you're not using your head correctly. :D
he can just either force staff you or eul up combo with static traps stun for 6 secs and plant 1 mine + 1 ulti detonate if need suicide (fun + troll combo in dota 1)

Because this hero is a fuckin joke and don't even deserve to be in a hero spotlight video. And fuck techies. Sad sunsfan didn't mentioned the blademail and necronomicon.
Dan Dobney I'm just upset because they are trying to raise awareness on how to counter a hero ... I don't see Gem being mentioned fifty thousand times in the Riki spotlight video ...
Did nobody else notice that they have the same pose in the portratit that the soldier and demoman did in cyborgmatt's blog april fools joke 2 years ago?
Edit: techies will die, the suicide will be wasted. btw, if techies is your opponent use shallow grave with blade mail and walk on mines to 'reflect' the damage to techies and kill them (and yeah, even if they are anywhere on the map)
@@Cynidecia I agree 100%, I was a techies spammer myself before they changed him but he was still really toxic for the game. Either way I quit dota some time ago, only took many hundreds of hours to realise that I don't want to waste more of my free time playing this shit
He said we finally have teemo in dota 2... Teemo came out way before techies was announced to come to dota 2, but im not claiming that it wasnt published in dota 1 way before LoL even came out...

I remember in DotA techies had a thing for dragging out losing games a long time. I think they should add the ability to concede with the addition of techies.
You forgot to mention the passive of his first skill and ult, the one where you lose 100 frames after blowing up one of your minefields.
you too , you noticed ?
Looks smooth to me. lol
ItzAnameOk Did you tried it on your computer ? Try to explode 3 bomb of an enemy .... I get like a tiny lost frame.
Olivier Devries no I havent *shrugs in shame* what I meant was it looks smooth on this vid. But I think if you turn off camera shakes and all those effects, you'd get no packet lost at all. Or if noone just doesnt play techies then problem solve. LOL
ItzAnameOk Haha , might be the case , I played them in the test client , and I forgot to block shaking effects.
So, if a Techies and a Rubick are on opposite teams the map could become a no man's land?
Sounds interesting enough.
this would be very interesting indeed. I think tanks would be forced to walk on his shit from now on lol.
Tanks for the idea
Benjamen Metas more like no man sky XD , ( i am late , almost 2 year )
Tiny also
This is Techies' world now.
A world in which there is no reprieve. No escape. You will yearn for the release of death, and it will never come.
finally a true ursa counter >:D
I am sure that a lot of people will learn to clear areas and scout with illusions etc. Gem on naga will be devastating to him. However a last picked techies will probably dominate as nobody will have picked a well needed counter.

the sign is useless, who else want to warn the enemy there will be mine in the area, they have already confused when enemy pick Techies XD
"The sign is useless"
lel
The sign is good actually for mind warfare made the enemy less likely to go and push your lane (especially for defence)
lol
HI I'M FROM FUTURE AND YOUR STATEMENT IS NOT USEFUL NOW
so a hero with little to no counterplay at all when he works well, and an easily avaible counter that renders 3 of his 4 abilites mute.
there's loads of counterplay.
Techies can stall the midgame, but they can't win the lategame without a good carry on the team.
A carry with bkb and 30 armor breaching the choke point is something, techies can't deal with. The mines do composite damage, so with high armor, you shrug them off and remotes don't pierce bkb.
Another way to deal with techies can be seen right in the CURRENT META.
5man deathball pushes right from the beginning screw techies over, because they don't have the mana base to stall out the siege of an otherwise doomed tower at that point of the game.
There's 2 things, you shouldn't do against techies:
1) run around the map like an idiot
2) death ball up a choke or into a tower without any true sight
play zeus, portable sentry every 10 seconds
hey guy it can be countered pick hero with lot of HP get gem and BladeMail... when you see lot of mines activate blade mail and walk to them
Techie's landmines deal composite damage, which means the damage is reduced by Armor and Magic resistance, adding that with, as others have mentioned, Blade Mail is an amazing way to counter and kill Techies. However, if you really want to counter Techies, pick a ranged hero with a Gem or, again, Zeus.
Saying techies is OP is like saying riki is OP... There are some heroes/items that can counter him.
I'm gonna make a sacrifice for the next 3 weeks or so:
-Pick Techies as fast as possible.
-Wait until everyone else picks/ 3 secs on the countdown.
-Repick
-Watch everyone get mad at you for stealing their chance of being dicks
-?????
-Profit!!!!
Hey, if they can do it...
omg you're a genius.
I am not gonna pick until everyone played. Where is your God now?
Smart.......
I wanna do this. Techies is ultra annoying
why pudge is not using the ''chains of the black death'' set?
---
also, it is just me or the techies ''remote mines'' icon recalls a troll face?
I would guess because it's on the test client, and your cosmetic items don't carry over for some reason.
And yes. Yes it is.
Hey Gabriel Barsch r u still making madness combat collab
Eh, i heard Heroes of the Storm is a good game.
no gold no items and the entire team levels up at the same time

But at least it has no techies in it!
No carry's you can always come back :) still in alpha though...

Guys, Just pick Sylla Bear and go for early gem. Put it on Bear. Support Sylla Bear new Meta.
the gem of true sight will not grant true sight if placed on lone druid's bear
try furion - send treants to reckon, they will blow all 1st skill mines and techies s gonna be mad
Zhanat Tolubaev And blade mail :3
Or, just play Batrider. He doesn't even trigger the mines (if you're using firefly at least).
Max Rumble I play Lone Druid a lot and yes the gem does work on the bear.
Gee if only there was an item to reflect such high damage from the mines back onto the techies low hp pool.
***** I meant soul ring you god damn moron.
blakeout it doesn't reflect damage you idiot
try harder m8

Take note that the mines and suicide both deal composite damage. While this does go through magic immunity, it is also reduced by both magic resistance and armor, thus they will deal significantly less damage to heroes than is listed on the tooltip (and even less as the game goes on and people get more armor).
After this, PIT LORD is the only hero left we need to w8 to be realesed... Valve make sure you dont change any of his skill..
check your facts, there are 3 others excluding techies and pit lord
Nope, Arc Warden, Wyvern, Pit Lord and Oracle.
they already changed his corpse explode thing
GorgeousRandyFlamethrower Yup, the fucking Oracle
Winter Wyvern is also good troll, force your enemies to fight eachother. Maybe even more troll then techies mines.
And then you realize how much mana all their spells cost
I assuming this third skill re-spawn time stacks with bloodstone...?
It does.
it does. But bad techies players will die a lot by this spell and lose EXP. They get behind too much.
Fabricio Osuna
Precisely. Oh my...dota games gonna change so much once this hero is out =X
Jin Sheng As for me. I'm going to stick to captains mode in ranked from now on XD

Pretty sure he'll be in ranked. How do I know? Because you don't want him to be in Ranked. Our Lord Gabe knows your suffering and is only too happy to help you suffer.
i actually fear the coming of techies in dota 2.
pub matches will never be the same
Finally hes here was waiting for him since Dota 2 got released.
Teemo's father, Is that you?
Finally!
Ah yes, the era of a shit ton of blue wards is upon us.
Static Trap tip:
-By having more than one ST in stun area destroys all others, but place second ST 1 second after first one stuns target, enemy cannot move out and you get to double stun duration!
-While it takes 2 seconds for ST to stun target(s), fast attacking melee hero can take out ST before it goes off.
OH MAY GOD TECHIES I was WAITING FOR HIM SINCE DOTA 1
Question? How do you gonna get in the smaller radius of the first mines? isnt it exploding at the first chance?
there is a delay
Mario Kolev i thought its only after the cast?
there is a small delay after someone comes in range or maybe you have to come in range of the full damage for the mine to activate im not that sure
ah
they only explode when you are in the full damage aoe
You should of released on 9/11. Too soon?
lol you bogus bro.

Full melee teams vs techies
Ermahgerd, a hero I'll need to counter!!! OP!!!
straight up .. overpowered hero .. if you think about it,he really is
And useless against true sight
not really, if you are smart enough, with enough ward and ability not to feed him at the first few minutes, he's pretty much useless
if u think about it he is not.. he is counterable in so many ways,most heroes can easily counter him.And a gem either by a ranged hero, or a non-ranged tank with blade mail will do the work..
***** im not saying tech is op. Coz i know this hero. But think abt highground mines, n a ranged hero with gem :) n gem drop haha
Gem counters him... as you were just told.
Makes you apreciate the current itteration of Techies so much more...

Why would u reveal the Mines spots!

I expect a lot of salt in future games.
Did nobody else notice that they have the same pose in the portratit that the soldier and demoman did in cyborgmatt's blog april fools joke 2 years ago?
CONGRATULATIONS ON 1,000,000 SUBS!!!!!
Techies + blink dager.......omfg
Techies + Dark Seer/ Enigma ;)
Gordon Freeman Techies + Naga siren = 6 sec stun and lots of explosions :)
Nikola Matovic can the bomb explode while the others having naga's ulti effect??
Arwin Sapoetra
yes but they deal no dmg, but u can set up stasis traps etc
***** techies + naix + tiny
what happaned when you suiside and you have dazzle shallow grave?
Techies will die
Edit: techies will die, the suicide will be wasted. btw, if techies is your opponent use shallow grave with blade mail and walk on mines to 'reflect' the damage to techies and kill them (and yeah, even if they are anywhere on the map)
This is pretty popular since Dota 1. Use it to make techies cry and rage :)
bunnyfreakz
did they change that? when i tried techies (before it was officially possible) i survived with 1 hp, with shallow grave
Zen Alzein he doesn't mean the enemy has shallow grave, he means if you put shallow grave on techies then techies would use suicide.
I miss the old techies. No reason to play dota again, really.
What changes on his kit do you even miss from the old one to now?
@@VlazeSkylax I miss the old techies entirely. I havent played dota for a long time so i dont know the current state of the game
@@raishisou New techies has gotten a fresh coat of paint and in general is in a much healther spot for the game than old techies
@@therealzizmon1748 Techies was uniwue and the game is objectivelt less unique without him.
@@Cynidecia I agree 100%, I was a techies spammer myself before they changed him but he was still really toxic for the game. Either way I quit dota some time ago, only took many hundreds of hours to realise that I don't want to waste more of my free time playing this shit
As you can see that techies's remote mine icon has a troll face in it
Dota will never be the same again
Normal Dota 2 player:
2011: OMG CAN'T WAIT FOR TECHIES.
2012: OMG WHY TECHIES IS NOT RELEASED YET.
2013: OMG PLS DON'T RELEASE TECHIES IS AWFUL.
2014: OMG TECHIES SUCKS VALVE SUCKS I QUIT DOTA FUCK EVERYTHING.
Seriously?
There we go. Now we have a Teemo in Dota 2....
***** He said dota 2...
Latezh so? Why compare to teemo. Techies was way before in dota 1.
He said we finally have teemo in dota 2... Teemo came out way before techies was announced to come to dota 2, but im not claiming that it wasnt published in dota 1 way before LoL even came out...
No. Riot made a Techies in LoL..
Yeah..?
"Fair and balanced"
Its it possible for you to please make a guide on the best locations for mines and how to fully take advantage of them ?
You will also have acces to a sub-ability that detonates all mines in a target location and ruins all of the fun of having Suicide in ability draft.
How to counter you ask? I got two words for you: Spiked Carapace.
The problem with Spiked Carapace is that it will only reflect one mine damage, not the others
Blade mail :0 I allready knew that do lol
JBliaw91 damn, I completely forgot about that.
Is that a trollface on the Remote mines icon?
Yep. I think you can imagine why they put it there.
it's time to delete dota 2
gief rares plz, O no don't need im rich, bye.
im not rich so gi rares plz XD
cm mod
cannot agree more!! :D
@henry Susanto nice question shhaha
What happens if Dazzle graves you and you use your deny ability?
Waiting for this for so many time !
YES! Now people have a real reason to buy me
i hope techies will be ban in ranked
ranked is the same as normal.. especially all pick they are only banned in captains mode
They (Techies) are in captions mode in WCIII Dota, so after ironing out the worst bugs, he will officially be in CM without any large balance changes.
ALLAHUAKHBAR
Hahaha late :P
+Brendan Cheong lol noob troller
You've given me ideas on where to place mines...
I can see force staff, meat hooks, nether swap, and more being used to great effect. The landmine era has finally come!!
LEAGUE>DOTA
Who needs leauge of lesbians when you got Dota
MyW0 Me
League of Noobs < DOTA 2
I think you spelt League
Is better dota

How to counter techies: pick dazzle> lvl shallow grave> but a gem > buy a blade mail > ??????? > techies countered.
I remember in DotA techies had a thing for dragging out losing games a long time. I think they should add the ability to concede with the addition of techies.
damn,can't wait to play this hero..played in dota 1 though
Long Live the King!
Techies! My love! Finally, we shall be re-united!
Techies : I'm gonna place dozens of mines everywhere.
Centaur : ez game.
Nyx : you don't say?
Could the mines be triggered by creeps... if they can't then you could cut off a enemys escape route in the lanes
Well there is also their ultimate ability which places mines that are manually triggered that they can use anyways.
Can the mines be triggered by Creeps? Yes, they can. His Remote Mine, as mentioned earlier, is triggered by the player.
i spend 2 hours to read all the comments here. and it just so fun!
