You actually have to draft heroes that are good against Techies. I don't know if he was last or 4th pick but like Broodmother or omniknight they are deadly if you have the wrong line up.

omni does not even do shit against techies early on, albeit repel is legit against remotes.

Sumail was actually really losing the QoP vs Storm match-up, and CTY would have came out ahead if he just didn't get ultra cocky. The fact that he was only like 3-4 cs behind really shows how bad Sumail was getting outclassed. The 2nd game was all Sumail's teammates getting him the advantage.


Cty makes a mistake that gives Sumail a large advantage but he still > Sumail?

wroooooooooooooooooooooooong wisp + NP change the base game mechanics just as much except teams have 20 times more experience playing against them. playing against techies in 10 years will be much more developed and less gimicky.

except he does offer a lot in pushes

other than that, agreed with everything else



He sorta does in that he has good AoE and can clear mines if he is allowed to set things up, but he's almost useless in most fast paced fights.

his strength comes from offering a safety net/trap for when your team is pushing in, start setting up mines so that you can catch enemies when they start chasing you down while your team retreats, or plant stasis traps to prevent wrap around ganks. split pushing with techies in a potentially game-deciding push is not the best way to play him and utilize his strength

I will insist to the grave that anyone winning with Razor wins in spite of him, not because of him

That would be Fnatic/Team Malaysia, I think?
They stomped Secret with kYxY Lesh at SLXI, then picked it a few more times at Redbull.

Yeah. I was shocked at how badly he was losing. CTY had near-perfect CS and Sumail had like half that in the first five minutes or so. The first blood managed to help get Sumail back into it, but I think a lot of that game had to do with Sumail doing so poorly in the lane.

Everybody's ignoring the bounty hunter being afk for the first 5 minutes of the game and letting the solo offlane lina and mid ember win their lanes. Even if he went bottom and tried to harass the pull or click the bloodseeker a few times he would have done more than he did.

Cty makes a mistake but he still > Sumail this is the best case of why Azarkon is necessary.

Cty makes a mistake but still outplays Sumail consistently without those. That's just a sign of why you are considered what you are.
