For any WC3 vets, how did Techies Suicide auto-cast work? Was it on a certain percentage of HP or?

Your first three matches are placement matches. When you have played those you can see your teams rating, aswell as the rating change after each match.

When suicide autocast was on Techies wouldn't autoattack. They would run into melee range and explode.
The AI for that move was that of goblin sappers in WC3, which like the scourge in starcraft was a suicide unit.

Wait, so how does regular suicide cast work? Just click enemy to target? Can you target ground?

You could target ground iirc, which was hilarious cause sometimes people would whiff the suicide

Team matchmaking will also match you with 5 stacks, since there are not enough teams using TMM.

Why is sniper generally not considered a great hero among better players? You see him a ton in pubs and he can really dominate a game. IN my experience almost everyone goes for a max Range/Bash build and doesn't put points into shrapnel till very, very late (if at all). When I play against it I generally don't have too much trouble playing against sniper unless I'm playing in the safe lane and don't have a support who can/will engage onto sniper (I seem to do especially well vs snipers who go mid) or he plays in another lane and gets really fed; but that seems to happen a lot. I've heard a few times from better players that shrapnel is sniper's best skill, but I hardly ever see it skilled/used.

What is the reason for this difference between snipers in lower skilled games and higher skilled games? Why is he sometimes such a terror in pubs but hardly ever seen in competitive? Why the difference in opinion on shrapnel?

Here's an old article that talks about sniper trends at various skill levels.

The short version is that early Take Aim is most popular and least bad at low levels, Headshot is most popular at high levels but not effective at any, and Shrapnel is both unpopular and effective at all levels.

It's my personal opinion that during the laning phase the 3rd and 4th points of Take Aim are a crutch for players with poor spacing.

lowish. I don't know my MMR as I haven't ventured into ranked as of yet.

What is the rational behind shrapnel being the better skill build rather than the 2 passive max build; what does the shrapnel max gain you? I get that if you just max the passives you're more susceptible to people jumping on you and killing you, which i understand is gonna happen more the better players are. However, what are you really gaining by maxing shrapnel? It seems like it hurts your midgame a bit for the price of some safety from ganks, but this could be from my lack of knowledge/experience.

Are the styles different between the two builds? Generally the take aim/headshot builds go like shadowblade>Maelstrom>deso or just shadowblade>deso and push. With the max shrapnel builds, what are you doing in the midgame?

sniper has a midgame? without 3 big items he's the easiest carry in the game to jump on and burst down. might as well be useful and do some extra tower damage / provide cc for your team before you get blown up.

unless youre a baller and you have a blink/force :3

depends on the hero. it's completely worthwhile to instantly upgrade to lvl 2 on someone like PL that relies heavily on illusion attacks. on a riki it'd be pretty terrible since he needs the charges for solo kills.
