Why would you expect one?


because one is needed at this point. maybe they think techies will stop the strats that are currently deemed op?

How come everybody forgets that AP's a shit mode anyway and that they shouldn't play it in the first place

Actually i shouldn't say that, people should play AP if they want to.

But seriously its not that hard to play any other mode for a few days. Nobody's forcing you to play with techies. Besides which there are heroes worse than techies too.

I like AP more than other modes.
Random Draft is alright I guess, but anything else just drives me crazy.

CD is fun, but the issue is that there is a (high) chance of getting people who are completely uncooperative. If it wasn't for that I'd play it more.

Really wish RD was in ranked though. Probably my favorite mode in the game.

Playing CM and CD forces you to interact with people. For some people, thats harder than playing against/with techies.

if i had 4 friends on at a given time, i would play CD or CM. unfortunately that's impossible.

i don't feel like trying to snipe captain every time bc no one ever asks their teammates what they can/want to play but that's probably what i'll have to do.

Had a fun game as techies, a fun game against him. Seems more fun than the current meta.

One moderately useful thing to know: 8 Bloodstone charges is enough to respawn instantly with Suicide. So it seems like the Suicide death timer decrease is applied before the one from Bloodstone.

So apparently dotabuff has techies winning 37.5% of games; even less than Earth Spirit and Wisp (the previous last-placers)

It can go lower. Its only a matter of time.

Also, fuck Irish for suggesting that people build that terrible item on Techies just to kill themselves and then kill themselves again.

Mm, don't see how you have enough item slots to fit it in. Perhaps as a 7:th item to replace soul ring.
