Till a few weeks ago, seeing Techies picked in their game would make most players squirm.
But all that has changed since Techies rework in the recently released Dota 2 patch 7.31.
Sticky Bomb is an interesting ability.
The sticky bomb prioritizes heroes, and it cannot be destroyed like Proximity Mines.
It is a good way to deal damage in lanes and secure last hits as well.
The skill also pairs well with Proximity Mines to push out lanes and farm neutrals, especially neutral stacks.
Reactive Tazer is slightly less impressive.
Right now, it stands somewhere around the 46%-48% marks.
Earlier, at least the enemy wouldnt get the gold and experience from the kill.
Now, Blast Off barely does any damage to Techies.
Laning
According to Dotabuff, over 60% of the Techies games have seen the hero in the offlane.
The only difference is which talents are picked.
Talents
Level 10:The level 10 talents are the most evenly contested.
Level 15:At level 15, the verdict is clear.
+200 Blast Off damage is the way to go!
- Soul Ring:Considering Techies have four usable skills, the mana requirement is quite high.
Soul Ring helps to quell that mana thirst from the early to mid-game.
- Kaya into Ethereal Blade:Ethereal Blade is now one of the most bought items on Techies.
On the whole, Techies has been reborn.
