[TWEAK] Detonate

[KuroNeko]

This is a very simple tweak. Currently, detonate detonates all remote mines. This button can easily be misclicked, and a Techies will usually have more than one "cluster" of remote mines.

I propose that this detonates only the nearest remote mine, like Lanaya's traps, so that he can R+shift+D in team fights. I've never purposely 'detonated' all of Techies' mines, and believe that this would be much more practical.

edit:
Detonate 2.0
-locates closest remote mine
-detonates all remote mines in a 300 aoe of that mine

?

[IMPLEMENTED:] Icefrog tweaked it and made it an entirely new sub-skill. Thanks Icefrog

[DracoLich]

just make it double click.
first click place buff on techies, second will check for him, and if it there, use detonate itself

[NoThlnG]

Agree with OP. Or, make it able to change between all mines and nearest mine

[Dc.Nilbog]

Not to sure on this one, sometimes you would need to detonate some mines for the ease of convenience, or if you are in trouble. Though I do hate it when I accidentally detonate all my mines.

[Shukaku]

give him two "detonate" skills one for nearest and on for all

t-up

[Linism]

T-Up. I can't imagine why you would need to detonate ALL mines....

[permafrosty]

Yeap. one for nearest and one for all. i think this would be quite nice, unless techies has 2 clusters of mines o.o but anyway its an improvement

[Kira`]

T-up on concept, more T-up for Shukaku's idea.
one button for nearest and one button for all will do

[Dynes]

An area targeting spell that detonates all mines in AOE is better, this isn't like Psionic trap that you have to wait for the next trap to take effect.
Detonate has a slight delay, your enemies can easily get off if you spam D.

Tip, group your mines.

You can't do a "double click" systems for skills, they can't be targeted by skills, what nonsense is this?

[connguatrang]

Yes T-up for two buttons Sometimes I misclicked it and see my archive ruined..

watwatwat?
i just wrote, how it can be done.

1) Unit use 'Detonate'
2) If unit have buff 'Detonate' then BLOW ALL MINES
3) Else add buff 'Detonate'

Buff lasts for 2 sec.

[Dynes]

That wasn't a "double click" FYI.

E:
So I didn't get the point of making it even slower to detonate mines.

[DracoLich]

cooldown = 0.
fast double click = detonate.
abuse isnt possible due to 0 sec cd - still cd

[Shadow Fury]

T-Up!

[qoou]

Cautionary T-up.

Techies is getting buffed immensely, both directly and indirectly. If IceFrog keeps this buffing up, soon we'll have another Ursa QQ month on our hands, and I personally don't want Techies to go back in the shit tier.

[dominator02]

.I used to select and clicked D them instead of using the Detonate skill from Techies because it would lose the other mines I placed to the another lane.

Detonate used to have no cd, it was changed due to some issues, this won't be used.

[KuroNeko]

Please don't tdown for being yet another buff for techies. It's more like a bug fix to me than a flat out buff (like exp gain).

With detonate as it is, I'd rather not have it at all. It only serves to kaboom all of my mines accidentally.

[Dynes]

Tdown?
Where's the tdown in those?

Like I said:
1) Group your mines.
2) This suggestion.
3) Keep the current.

^ He was meaning qoou's post.

It's Dracolich nonsense. He rarely has any real idea what he's talking about.

On topic, I think it's a must tbh. I rarely lay more than one remote at a time because I like wiping out creep pushes with them, with whih R-->D is much more convienent than selecting the mine and blowing it up manually. Unfortunately, that leaves no way for me to leave remotes clustered around the map.
