Techie & Team play

Introduction
Welcome to my techie guide. My English is not my first language, so I have to apologies for the error in grammar or spelling. I decide to write up this guide because my playing style is different from others. But, there might be some similar concept with other guides.

II. Hero Introduction
What is techie role? techie role in dota, is very different from any another heroes. He's not a supporter either nor he's is a babysitter. Hes role is to stop other team from farming, stop them from gaining gold by any mean. Mining their neutral, bombing their lane, killing while their move, or blowing them up before they picking up rune. You have see those strategy before, and reason is of cause, stop them from function their game.
Therefore in my opinion techie role is "GOLD DIGGER"

EXPLAIN ON SKILL BUILD
First, stasis. I'm positive that many would disagree when they skim through my build. Stasis is one of the longest AOE stun in dota game, BUT the chance of make it trigger in the right place at the right time is almost impossible without Allie help. Only learn the skill when you have disable or dark seer.
Other case, when the opposite team have summon for a heavy push. Stasis can be very handy. Mass creeps movement give a better chance for stasis to trigger then individual hero move. This also prove that stasis good in team battle due to heavy movement. On other side, its not very effective for gank, because hero can walk over the stasis trap with a likely chance of not trigger the trap.

Land mine is at best leave it at level 2. It's uses for demolish tower or building, and farming. Farming with land mine early is the most easy way, considered base damage from techie is nothing.

Suicide, one of the best skills for techie. Don't skip it. If you need stasis, i suggest go 323236 (skill build). As I mention early, techie is a gold digger. You want to suicide yourself for a kill. Logically, you want to kill to get gold, don't worry about level.The point is yours enemy lose gold (you kill him) and lose exp (can't farm). Be aware that sometime you don't need to suicide to kill, this is depend on your circumstances and your own judgment. Not suicide allow you to gain exp, which I think sometime is important.

V. Item Build

EXPLAIN ON ITEM BUILD
You're focus on stats gain, both strength and intelligent. So that you have extra HP to survive the battle and extra mana to plan yours mines.

BoT is always good if you can afford, but +10 stats for 950 is hard to resist especially on a hero that needed it. Also, you're not going to tp back to base cause you going to roaming around looking for hero to suicide.

Why tank up when you going to suicide? The reason you buy bracers is because you're preventing yourself from getting kill before you commit suicide. Yours early game with 400hp isn't going to give you much of a game play. Also, having more HP allow you to contribute yourself to team more then just stay back and plan mine.

VI. Gameplay
suicide, suicide, suicide!
Early game you shouldn't stop suicide. You want to kill as much as possible with suicide. Build your streak to godlike if you wish. Turn those gold into your shiny items (and don't forget, your first item is BOOTS). Do not buy TP scroll, just simply walk back to yours lane. if you're kill 10 heroes and tp 10 times that make 135x10 = 1350 gold. Also, no point of get into your lane too soon, considered your suicide is cooling, and you want to feed whoever allied in that lane. Oh, am strongly suggest techie should NOT solo. Roaming to kill other lane, don't just concentrate in one lane.

Think from enemy point of view, how would you feel if techie keep suicide on you?...
Boom!!
"I got no gold"
Boom!!
"man, their carrier is growing"
Boom!!
"can't farm"
Boom!!
"oi, don't cross the river, tech mine there"
Boom!!
"omg, i had my relic then"

Don't think that suicide will get you out level, but think that suicide have double edges.
Remember, you're playing offensive techie. Don't stay back and plan your remote mine. Get in the battle and help yours allied. techie can secure the battle area very well with stasis and mine.

If your allied are not ganging, you should farm. Use lvl 2 land mine to farm, you want to farm fast without grabbing attention from enemy. Been techie you'll get gang quite often, cause they thinking you're weak. But with those land mine you can farm 2-3 creep waves without been detect by them. If you got gang, suicide straight away don't hesitate and run, likely you won't make it.
