Tier-Induced Scrappy: Difference between revisions

* Techies in ''[[Dota 2]]'' deserve a mention for having been the ultimate safe pick that required the entire enemy team to adapt their game plans around them in their 5.68 patch version until 7.00 when they were redesigned. To summarize, a [[Trap Master]] that lays proximity mines that deal considerable amounts of damage and explode even when destroyed, stunning stasis traps, remote-activated mines that can be thrown a long distance to be detonated in the enemies' faces as an ultimate ability, and even has an instant kill-switch to deny any reward to any enemy that tries to kill them unless they get stunned or silenced for long enough and even lets them respawn faster. Although it's not rare for skilled players to become threatening to the point of requiring a coordinated effort from the enemy team to take them down in the late game, Techies were a serious threat able to lay instantly-killing stacks of mines right from the start of a game and could make pushing nearly impossible without having to participate in any direct fight. Expensive true-sight granting items or specific heroes with abilities that give true sight were mandatory to clear their minefields safely.
