Sometimes when I look at a clock in real life, and see it's "X:53", I think I have to stack.

No you don't. As a fellow support, you realize it's already too late and say "gently caress I'm late" out loud as if that counts for anything.

Mars, Timber, Kunkka, Razor and Beastmaster are some of the best offlines RN, shoutout to OD cheese picks.

Anyone who likes Armlet is also good since armlet is really strong.

increase the size of techies model so it's completely impossible to gently caress up the stand-ontop-of-your-mines tactic in laning

Do all of these god-awful voice lines finally "expire" with Wednesday's patch? I'm so tired of discount Storm Storm and whatever that one Russian line is

there's 3 techies, so they should be separately controllable, meepo style

e: the actual techies rework will just be anime skins and a melodramatic "do you love me" voice line

Battlepass stuff should all roll over next week so there's a good chance whichever lines you don't like are going away soon

Techies is getting a rework.

I am one of the few players who loves the hero (they're my favorite, by far), thinks it's fun, and thinks it contributes positively to matches that it's in. (A.K.A. I'm part of the problem.)

I hope they keep the spirit of the hero. They're gonna delete it.

Here's my dotabuff where I can show off a lifetime 58.52% winrate over 827 games on Techies :q:

I would bet money they combine or move mines to being his ult only but make it way more limited and more powerful. The heroes a lot more engaging to play as a 4 and pressure lanes and team fight with blast off

i think they should remove blast off as well as his autoattack altogether and make all of his moves different types of mines. his autoattack should be grenades that blow up on a timer. give him a sticky bomb like bombadier. gently caress it

make his suicide have no respawn time but take your gold and delete items at random if youre broke. add some real chaos. lets loving go

If they want to go for broke with maximum chaos options I'm all for it.

A primary reason I like Techies so much is that they're just plain different from every other hero, both for the person playing Techies and also their opponent. If Techies becomes just one more support with some bog standard disables and damage I'll be disappointed.

I always thought it would be cool if Techies could throw out a bunch of temporary mines during a teamfight that you'd have to avoid stepping on but I guess the game already has a lesser version of that with Bramble Maze.

I've thought this would be a good idea too.

Could be combined with a suicide attack that causes temporary mines to fling all over, as if Techies' cart was spilling everywhere as they died - so it even fits thematically!

I actually like playing with or against Techies too. Each opens up interesting tactical possibilities.

I figure you combine prox and remote somehow as his ult, keep blast off and that leaves you 2 free spells to work around or create new stuff

Apparently there's a Primal Beast teaser in the latest update. He roars and then a global stun goes off or something like that, right after loading in. I hope he's a hero and not Roshan #2.
