Currently at the Valve office: The great debate moves forward on if to hot fix it immediately or to wait for a while to assure it ends up on fails/plays of the week. Icefrog will be the tie breaker once they can reach him at his mountain top lair.

Somewhere else at Valve they are mocking the bug testers, who are all like "What the fuck do you want from us? Have you seen that monster you created? I keep reporting things as bugs and you keep marking them "As intended." Fuck you guys."

So I played my first game with a techies in it.

At about 40 minutes he got an abandon for afk placing mines, then left the game.

But then we won at 60 minutes anyways.

I assume this is normal.

It shouldn't be. Played him for the first time last night in Random Draft and had a blast. He requires a very different mindset than almost any other hero, but it's definitely possible to contribute positively to the team. He's very reliant on the enemy team not having truesight, however, which is why you need to work together once there's a gem on the board to try to minimize how much that hurts you.

But there is nothing like blowing up a stack of remote mines to kill 2-3 heroes and stop a counterpush in its tracks after your team gets wiped. That shit felt so good.

I wasn't saying he was playing poorly! He had mines everywhere, was getting kills and was making them terrified to push... just, after we had an advantage and a good opportunity to push, he just kept turtling t2s and got the abandon, then immediately left. I understand that the mines do damage to towers, so when we've got aegis and only 2 of their heroes alive for the next 45 seconds, it seems like a good opportunity to go threaten rax.

Techies is the new Pudge. Sometimes you get him and never skills stasis in a 45 minute game and justifies his play by scoring a rampage after you all are killed by setting bombs under a tower.

Other times he is a totally amazing player that turns fights with amazing plays, kills roaming supports and totally fucks up the team attempting to get rosh.

So, how lucky do you feel?

Edit: The techies that doesn't every come to fights is beyond annoying and dumb. He has amazing CC if you can get it to go off in the middle of a fight.
