Don't apply logic to techies.

There are strategies like putting an item in the lane for people to pick up. From a tango to a Divine Rapier, people have done every possible kind of trap already.

I recall dropping Gems to bait people into walking into mine fields. Just so when they pick it up they get to see how many mines they are standing on before I blow them up lol,.

Techies probably wont be out for quite some time. There are many others what will be added before them. I am going to for sure avoid dota 2 for as while when they are released, the game is going to burn that is for sure lol.

This isn't quite correct. Mines do mixed damage, so their damage to towers is reduced by the tower's armor.

It is still the only skill that damages towers at the same value it damages heroes. All other skill do reduced or specified amounts of damage to towers, like Netherblast and Toss.

It's not all that complicated. Spells that do magic damage have reductions because towers don't have magic resistance. Spells that do mixed or physical damage don't have additional reductions because they use towers' armor which is high enough to reduce damage appropriately.

Your a badass.

I've done item drops,usually GG branches, to cover mines, never thought to do it with a gem because as a techie,you hate gems.

Techie is basically a siege tank, useful for making certain areas too dangerous to travel without gem. A good techie can create safe paths for retreats, making chasing a dangerous thing to do when there's a techie on the field. I've blown up so many people because they chased an ally into my mines and the entire skype call crackle with laughter.

It's definitely a for fun hero instead of competitive.

As for blink dagger/forcestaff.... just get both!

If somebody is already following them all they can make a collection and then you could subscribe to that instead. Logically the guide writer would do this so you could easily follow all of their guides at once.

Now, lets put our attention to LOA.

Item builds, skill builds people! Recommend!
Personally im still thinking for LOA what to get. Deathcoil+shield max first definitely for damage burst, Deathcoil to max first because the versatility of a spell that does dmg/heal people is extremely useful.

There's a also the 1point shield build, where you go max deathcoil+passive with just 1 point in shield, as the shield removes most debuff including stun, it is actually not bad as a 1point wonder. Useful especially when you are unsure if you can make your shield explode as it used to disappear when the time's up, instead I think the shield will explode for any damage it has taken instead of just disappearing.

Items:-
Medallion should be core on LOA. Gives mana regen and a easy way to right click people down, especially useful with the passive of LOA. im thinking this

Treads + Medallion + Heaven's Halberd/Basher(Abyssal) + AC + Heart.

Just won my first game after a huge hiatus (only second overall I've played against people) with shadow shaman, it is soooo fun to throw down my ulti then stun, hex, and lightning if my team hasn't finished them off yet. So cool in teamfights to just disable the other team's scariest hero.
