Techies was buffed or nerfed? in General Discussion

    Techies' mines are no longer triggered when destroyed
    Techies' mines can now be destroyed using Quelling Blade icon.png Quelling Blade/Battle Fury icon.png Battle Fury
    Same range as wards: 450
    Techies' mines now provide 10 Gold for destroying them
    Land Mines cooldown and mana cost reduced by 50%
    Land Mines damage reduced by 50%
    Land Mines no longer have a max count
    Land Mines and Stasis Trap icon.png Stasis Traps no longer block neutral spawns
    Land Mines no longer stack exactly on top of each other
    They can still be very close though

    So at first, I thought the nerf was massive, and it is if I am not understanding wrong that you can destroy the mines with them not exploding and doing no damage at all. However, when it comes to landmines, I think the 50% reduction on damage, mana cost and CD but w/o max count is actually insane, as it allows techies to spam the fuckin landmines like crazy. 50% dmg reduction? Ok, Ima just put 10 landmines here, and there, and over there just more, and lets plant 2 or 3 in every single juke spot there is in the map, plus the runes, plus shops, plus any corner you can imagine. I think it's actually way better as you dont rely on a single spot with a good trap to get kills, now you can just spread the mines all over the place, making it harder to demine with controlled units or sentries. Also makes me think that with that manacost is worthy to get a forcestaff to punish that poor support carrying sentries.

    I'm not sure if they were trying to nerf him or what, but taking away the max count and lowering the CD and manacost just makes this lil goblin even more cancerous imho.

      heavy nerf, how the fuck didn't u figure that out urself?

      think about it, techies was good against heavy melee linups, but now he is completely useless.

        heavy nerf. can't be stacked.

        ГОООООООООООЛ

          I still don't understand what is the mine trigger radius (I know the trigger time is 0.3s and you take full damage in 200 radius and reduced damage 200-500).

                but more fun, you can make a fucking bombs from base to base.

                  I woudn't say he was nerfed that hard tbh...I think he still needs more nerfs. 10 gold per mine is really nothing, it should be at least 20. Mines not blocking jungle is a buff, Land mines buffed, QB still does shit against him coz has long cd.
                  TLDR - he is still OP as fuck & nerfs weren't even hard. He is basicly same hero.

                    He was nerfed to garbage tier. Ur all stupid if u can't see that. 2x land mines is AWFUL, it means that you can't for instance mine and suicide, or mine to do heavy surprise damage to the melee carry. Tusk + Techies is not as strong. Disarming bombs deal no damage is fucked up, now zeus can disarm without taking damage, along with all the 400 range heroes.

                      They cant be placed perfectly on top of each other any more. which means that people can inch forward spamming stop and move commands if they are walking through a likely mined spot, and they will never set off more then one mine. So massive nerf.
                      + the QB thing, + the they give a bounty, + they don't block camps, + they don't explode when you attack them.

                      If it was just a Cooldown/mana + limit buff and a damage nerf, it would be open to debate. (mines would be worse if you cast them mid fight, but better if planted in advance) . But even then it would be 50/50, and with all the other nerfs it is no where near a buff.

                      The hero will be useless except in the trashiest of trash brackets.

                        2x land mines means 2x more gold back from demining too. You won't be able to mine more than before since the mines do half damage. Putting 1-2 mines everywhere isn't gonna kill anything. The mine limit didn't even matter that much before. What the 50% reduction on everything does is make him less bursty for combos, it's not a buff except it takes away more refraction from TA. That's the only thing.

                        We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
