The Goblin Techies; maybe one of the most "fun to play with" heroes on DoTa. Not only because of the sounds they are making, which I admit to be really annoying when he kills you and shouts on your headset "GoodNight!", but because of the hundreds of things and combinations you can do with this three little pesky heroes. The reason I have made a guide such as this was simply because I solely think that Techies guides are outdated and some we're poor made(or maybe contains insufficient informations). Nothing less, let me note to you that I would be referring to The Goblin Techies as; Techies, The Terrorists, Three Little Shits and more other stuff that may content your sick little humors.

As I always say, I am now creating a guide, however as for the hero, walls of important texts are needed to satisfy the minds of the readers. I will gladly entertain any criticism, riots, or violent reactions of the readers. I am also willing to take the risks of wild flaming and spamming of "fuck this guide" and so on and so forth. So goodluck to me!

The Must see Hero Background

The listed informations above are important, notice that it can help you if you are a new techies player.

If you are looking for a sprinter, never look for this three. The Great Frog managed to make them one of the slowest heroes on DoTa. If you are thinking why? does a walking C4 sounds a bell?. It is perfectly reasonable. However, noticing his movementspeed is a very important thing for a reader to do. There are several reasons as to why but the main reason is him being a suicide bomber. Though, that speed can easily be fixed by a boots of your choice, whether to a magic portal boots, the boots of can't touch me or the boots of refreshing mana.

The stats; is balanced. Compared to Visage, you should be able to compare Techies stat gain is far more better than that of the bat's. As to his damage, I don't really wanna talk about it. He has the lowest damage gain on the history of DoTa. So making him a hitter is never a bad idea(if you're stupid). However, his attack range is his best asset; the highest attack range for a range hero(not considering any skill), this is perfectly reasonable due to him being a glass cannon on early levels.

The Al'Quaeda's Clever Role on DoTa

Support:
Gank:
Team Fight:
Tank:
Carry:
Turning the Tables:
Oh, So he's outrageously able to turn the tables? of course he is! It's what he do. If some of you are wandering why he can never tank? talk to your mom and ask her "why can't suicide bombers go head to head with the army?" and if you are asking why can't they be a carry "why are suicide bombers armed with detonators rather than big fat mean guns?", if you're still unsatisfied, you may now proceed to your window and jump.

Supporting? Yes he can, the fact that the suicide can provide lots of experience for your lane partner while you take the toll of it on the tower. Ganking? I do not know if it can be called as "ganking" because he is definitely not there(though on some cases can be) but yes, he can. A swift remote, land mines and stasis will do. Massive Genocide? Sure he does. That's what he'll ever do on they're darn boring life.

Techies Friends and BatAllies

This time I'm gonna list the heroes that are best themed up with the C4 dudes. I'll list it hero by hero for more information and guidelines on their teamrape. Any heroes that are in this list are considered best buddies of the bat, and other heroes not mentioned but with some characteristics are about the same.


The ultimate synergy and a sure K.O. combination, Atropos and Techies can sure kill anyone who gets on their way. There are no exceptions for this two. They are the best there is to it. No man or homo can wake up alive or even unharmed with this two. Atro does the 10 seconds disable, techies does the dirty 6 seconds stun, and if they would have survived that? wait for them to see what's sorrounding them. Mines.

A step-by-step skill synergy:



AoE time. This time it's no one man. It's a massive sleeping ground. What's good here is that you can set mines while they are sleeping! What's more gamebreaking than a good night sleep packed with a GoodNight shout from Techies which on terrorist terms means Boom! They sleep, you plant, they get stunned, illusions squash them, they get net, they get stunned and again, dead meat.

A step-by-step skill synergy:



Drag to death! everyone miss him, especially if he is teamed up with techies. This fat mean bastard can etch you with his rusty bloody hook and bring you to your doom without any partial scratch on their worthless manapoints. The task is simple, techies lays mine on juke spots then Pudge waits for the unfortunate victim. What's great? You get the kill and experience!

A step-by-step skill synergy:



The vacuum AoE, synergizes perfectly with the three little shits. This is really simple to do, unlike planting mines on a location, this time you wait for the dark dude to step up and use his black hole. While he's doing his ritual for 5 seconds you are busy planting mines in the middle of the hole. A gamebreaking skill that will surely leave your opponents nerve-wrecked.

A step-by-step skill synergy:

I may not be able to list all heroes that synergizes with this three walking C4s, so please let this heroes be a basis. The truth is Techies never relies on damage but on wits. He relies on positioning. A great position is what makes him so dangerous. So lane with a partner who can do some good positioning or even disables and holds and attempt to kill as soon as possible and maybe hit the charts all top high!
