I given up on techies players. They exist in a binary state where they are either amazing or complete shit. But I just have to accept that the game is in the hands of the Dota Gods.

Also, Dota Today interview podcast is back. For those stuck at work and who want something to listen to.

whatever i crushed a techies who started out 6-0 vs my safelane that hero has some very specific restrictions.

And blink's literally the most fun item in the game how can u complain that it's boring?

- Destroys certain challenges with the map design.
- Makes ganking too extremely easy.
- Over-emphasized just to make another ability purely for one purpose instead of multi-purpose.
- De-emphasizes key items versatility into more niche picks: Euls, Force, etc.
- Makes certain abilities more successful than need-be, people get it just to ensure their ultimate is pulled off.
- Diminishes need for certain initiators.

Gotta play him right. I'm a decent Techies, you just have to pay attention to what is working, what isn't and play to the pace of the game.

His recent buff/nerf is a bit meh (easy mines, tougher non-level 2 ultimate). Get as many kills during the first 3 to 4 minutes.
Lane when your mana is low and keep mining near that lane to prevent loss of exp. time
Use mines to take down towers if opportunity is around (mid pushing hard, etc.)

Soul Ring -> Eul's -> Aghanim's. As soon as you have Eul's, it gets 10000% easier.

Take advantage of your suicide, even if it misses, it helps the lane you're in.
