TECHIES ISN'T EVEN A DOTA HERO in General Discussion
SiliXx.SerasVictoria

    Lets be honest what is the only other hero hated about as much as Techies? Tinker. What do they both have in common? Their skills remove the elements of DOTA 2. Techies just places traps and does nothing in any fight, or game (yes he can place a mine in a fight but where is the skill?).

    The highest skill ability he has as a hero is Blast Off, which still requires 0 skill to land as the aoe is ridiculous.

    This hero seems like it was a product of another age. That of which was when DOTA was still a Warcraft 3 mod. This hero should only be in unranked as in any mmr above 2k it just removes all fun in the game.

          I agree,tinker tech out of this world nothing but annoying.

            Sniper needs skill? Axe needs skill? Tinker and techies are by far more complicated than Snip and Axe

              I mean I'm not going to be able to explain all the nuances of the hero cuz I'm bad at him.

              But you have to know where to mine, how to mine, which lane to focus, how to use blast off, team fighting, itemization, even skill building on this hero isn't straightforward.

                  techies is one of the most difficult heroes to master

                    Techies doesnt require skill to be good at, I hate techies, but tinker is a good dota hero, techies is just a mascot

                    Feachairu

                      fighting techies is pretty good actually,pos 3 pos 4 tech can be a safelane destroyer
                      although,you can counter it with just buying a quel as a support and do global warming on your lane(my friend did this to a pos 3 tech)

                          You only get frustrated when you play against a good Techies, he will plant mines where we don't know and where we can't see!

                            i literally never even see techies whats the big deal

                            Shm1l:)

                              Hereo wih arccana.
                              Redit post withput point.
                              Complainign about hero.
                              You need skil to win with tech, he is risk you can be afk noob you can carrry team, you can def base for 10h if you know how, you can stop anoing shits like pa, sven if thy don` t get bkb,or even if they get.
                              Anyone who say techiles deesn`t need skill is bulshit. You have far more one button heroes in game.

                                What is he then? A creep? A neutral? He’s literally in the list of heroes. that statement is false just because people don’t like the way he plays doesn’t mean he’s not a hero. Thats like saying Chinese people aren’t people just cause you don’t like Chinese people

                                  ppds brother streams, he is a techis player and maybe one of the best on the world.

                                  techis certainly isnt a hero with a low skill cap

                                  NO_Electricity

                                    Techies is technically a company the company is a hero through and also Techies is not anti fun it's ANTI NOOBs

                                    They also put tech in technically cause they meant to do that apparently

                                    Metsis

                                      Techies is ok, and his skill cap is quite high. You can just chain feed and suicide on the hero if you don't know what you are doing... But Tinker, talk about a hero that is completely broken. 1 second cd on a refresher orb is something that breaks quite a lot of rules of the game. And he is annoying as hell to play against.

                                      With Techies, the point is not to feed, but to kill and that takes coordination and team work. Techies isn't a powerful hero in a 1vs1 matchup. He is much like Io... In order to get the most out of the hero, you need a team to play together towards a common goal. Like a Pudge hooking enemies into your mines etc. Good harassers to to get good blast off opportunities etc.

                                      And we wouldn't have Cayinator if it wasn't for Techies...

                                          I've had like at least 10 techies games recently.

                                              I don't like playing with Techies.
                                              I don't like playing against Techies.

                                                I miss Dota 1 Techies.... That global goodnight.

                                                dont be thrilled by this ...

                                                  yes its oota hero (offense of the ancients)

                                                  CMNT

                                                    You need skill to know where to perfectly place traps and mines.

                                                    i have 5 reports to use

                                                      I actually used him in my calibration because he's good at harassing the safelane

                                                        The one hero I hated the most was ark warden. I didn't want him included unless they nerfed his bs everything.

                                                        And so they did.
