They are here to stay fellas, the three goblins who love to blow shit up are now available to play around with. All you have to do is spectate the ti4 all star match and select "takeover" once you are watching the game.

It might help to note that the replay has been removed from the TI4 international watchlist.

It's removed from the International watchlist, but you can still download the Replay. Go to Watch > Recent Games, then put 'Techies' in the hero filter and tick the box 'Tournament'. It's in the list.
Does anyone have any info on the official release of techies ?
Whats the best way to counter-pick techies? Just for a heads up for the inevitable influx of mines.
I know of Zeus (revealing mines with W)

Once you buy gem techies is useless
[QUOTE=SnakeInMyBoot;45488777]Once you buy gem techies is useless[/QUOTE]
so you better not die, and if you do, hope they don't get the gem
techies are useless without gems, composite damage falls the fuck off past 10-15 minutes
[QUOTE=Hammernipples;45491890]techies are useless without gems, composite damage falls the fuck off past 10-15 minutes[/QUOTE]
Wait.. what?
How does having 'gems' help with composite damage falling off towards the late game?
The point is that after a certain amount of time, most people will have enough armor + mag res to simply walk over his land mines and give little fucks due to how poorly composite damage scales.
It's not like an attentive Techies player won't notice his mines being disarmed by the enemy team with a gem either, so it's kind of wasted gold by that point.

Both the landmines and remote mines do 600 fucking damage at max level, even if you have good resists 3 mines exploding simultaneously will do 1800 damage, since it is composite it probably deals like 900 but that's still a fuckton since most spells would deal like 250 damage after reductions
And remote mines do magical damage so unless everyone in the enemy team is willing to buy a hood, they [I]will[/I] hurt

if by most people you mean some people, then yeah I guess.
but as far as I can tell, Techies has literally the best burst damage potential in the game, although a highly unorthodox way of dealing it..
techies is the hard counter to ursa
you plant remote mines in the rosh pit and when Roshan is 1 hit away from dying you detonate them all and steal aegis
or if you're not close enough to do that, just detonate them right after he gets the aegis
or just after he walks into the pit in the first place
[QUOTE=SnakeInMyBoot;45488777]Once you buy gem techies is useless[/QUOTE]
Once everyone on your team buys a gem and reached infinite health techies is useless.

Or just plant 3 normal mines in the pit and now he doesn't have enough health to Rosh and has to limp around near the river's ward spot with low health.
Buy blademail and walk over the mines.
[QUOTE=spanaren;45528075]Buy blademail and walk over the mines.[/QUOTE]
Mutually assured destruction unless you have more than one person walking across only a few of the mines.

Get a tanky crew. Does it really return the damage?
I hope it works more like an individual unit dealing its own instance instead than Techies

I believe it returns damage, or at least still will. DotA has blademail return damage upon techies for the mines so it's most likely to stay that way in dota 2. Of course there are still ways to counter getting all your mines stepped on, especially in a warded spot. Teammates like OD, Shadow demon, and of course eul's scepter help. Good luck farming up BKB on techies unless you constantly mine up the enemy jungle. Oh did you also know the techies mines can block camp spawns? That's my favorite part.

Yeah, tested it. Thats fantastic, the jungle is a playground for this fucker. Anyways I hope the blademail part gets removed, it kinda kills the only joy you can have.
Better yet, after finding a mine cluster as Nyx, pop spiked carapace and walk in.
[QUOTE=unlimi_Ted;45529457]Better yet, after finding a mine cluster as Nyx, pop spiked carapace and walk in.[/QUOTE]
That only reflects the first mine damage instance, not all of them.
Oh, true. I don't know how simultaneous explosions would work if you were to blink into the middle of them.
Just pick Pugna or get a Ghost Scepter.
Ethereal units aren't affected by mines.
They look no fun atall.

Remote mines will do damage to ethereal targets afaik.
