This just in: Local bandit gang has made da dihg their personal target and has stolen his chicken making work uniform. Suspects are believed to be white males between the ages of 13-43 with average builds and faces. If you see anyone matching this description do NOT try to apprehend the suspect and instead contact the local authorities. Thank you.

Techie gets picked (not by me). Random dork#1 yells at him to play support. Sigh.

Nothing really beats Eblade dagon blink aegis techies lol.

Blink on some1, eblade,dagon,mine,bomb,suicide,die. Repeat. Thats some absurd magci damage u are dealing.

And to clarify, i really dont recommend trying this build unless u are super far ahead and have some funz.

Order should be eblade, dagon, bomb, wait until AFTER the eblade ghost form runs out then mine and suicide.

So what are good items for ARDM?

I'm finding I'm leaning towards treads/phase+drums into mael/deso/AC-type stuff on #1-#2 cores, so I can still have some presence even if my next hero is CM. Euls/orchid/dagon seem pretty good choices for #3-type farm. Blink is always awesome but I'm tending not to buy it until I roll a designated blinker; maybe that's a mistake. Mek/pipe+arcanes I guess guarantees you the mana to use them no matter what your next roll is.

Not sure what else. Hex and shivas might be nice if I get there on a non-rightclicker. A lot of the classic carry things like hotd, basher, manta, bfly etc feel like wasted gold if your next hero doesn't suit them.

Strength heroes are just tanks, only agi heroes are proper cores.

Treads are universal. Phase is universal. Drums are universal. Blink is universal. Wand is universal. Mek is universal. Dagon is universal. Midas is universal. All these items will serve you well.

Pretend you're playing Nature's Prophet*, and you'll be led to more or less the correct item build.

*Reason being: NP is really not all that special. His central quality is that he can farm a lot and be places, but his abilities don't have much synergy with any specific item. You don't combo Eul's with Sprout. You don't get Radiance to splitpush faster with Teleport. You kinda build Necro 3 to go with your treants, but let's be honest, Necro 3 is one of those items you get on bland heroes so they can rat. And you most certainly don't get Aghs Refresher for double ult unless you've devolved into messing around. The NP item build is the generic item build, answering the question: what do we lack as a team?

Guys, Techies is not the guy with less win rate, so stop flaming techies in your games.
