Like LC got hyped and hyped and hyped, and now, i never see her in any game.

LC's hype revolved around getting our hilarious racist dude. Which never really happened. She isn't in CM so the only place you could see her is pubs (where she shows up decently often).

That hero's actually awesome.

Why does everyone have such strong opinions about Techies? It's just another hero, and it might even be legit with all the buff it received in the past patches. Halved respawn time after a suicide sounds pretty cool. Remote Mines (especially w/ aghanims) seem really strong too. Good range, good damage, etc.

He restricts the way everyone can play. He makes the other team paranoid, and he forces his own team to play 4v5 (mostly). I also associate him with very long, boring games.

Dude, every hero in DotA changes the way everyone can play. Wisp can gank you anywhere on the map, nyx can 100 to 0 combo you from stealth, tree can heal towers, etc., etc. And I don't think he forces his allies to play 4v5. Sure, garena techies did sit on mid highground for 20 minutes and just spam mines, but there are people playing equally horribly on other heroes as well. I think that's not the fault of the hero.

Was techies popular in DotA 1? I don't remember him being in that many games. Like... nowhere near as Pudge, for example. I'd say he was one of the less popular, like the bottom third or something.

I feel like techies is a relic of a bygone era. Dota is serious business these days, yo.

He's probably going to ruin/"improve" pubs for a few weeks after release and then remain annoying pretty much forever. I think the nostalgia factor will wear off pretty quick.

I understand that he's not a joke hero in the right hands, but he's not going to be in the right hands 90% of the time.

Neither is earth spirit, io and many other heroes in dota :l
This argument is just bad, there are so many heroes in dota that are dog-shit tier in the wrong hands.

With the buffs techies has recieved he's a completely legit hero although most pub players will just be spamming mines in one location hoping for a kill and thus being worthless.
Then again i already have plenty of heroes i consider to turn the game into 4v5 when an ally picks them. Doubt techies will change my enjoyment of pubs that much.

Aui is too unassuming, so it has to be him.
