Ha! They are scared that it would be reached, so they pushed it way out there.

My vote is for Phoenix.

No idea what I want actually, also, it's untradable till May 19. :/
I hope no one honestly expects it to end up being anyone other than Techies.
Techies are going to make pub matches so scary for so long.
Techies, the $3.2 million hero
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I wonder if they'll add even more stretch goals is we hit 2.6m
A hell of a lot more happened (or didn't, rather) than you would think looking at the scoreboard.

Wait, since when have we been able to see the Arc Warden icon over on the wiki?
I can see the old Arc Warden.

Uggggh just lost a game as Troll that was going very well, until our Rubick and Wisp apparently decided that the team with a Storm Spirit, Troll, and Huskar should play defensivly and ran away at every engagement, leaving the three of us suddenly very outnumbered

Techies appear OP as fuck on the surface. 20 invisible mines that explode for 600 damage?
Meh, they'll teach these pubbies to ward. Detection and vision will keep him from doing serious damage.
I don't think anything will ever teach pubbies to ward.
Well, right now there is only 9 unreleased heroes. 2 are nearly done, and should be out by within a month. That leaves 7 heroes that we don't know the current progress. So really, unless the goal is met really damn soon, Valve will likely be working on what ever hero gets voted on.
Don't forget they can also deny themselves and deal out a ton of damage at the same time. The game is just going to an element of absolute fear for a week. Fear that you might step wrong and blow yourself up, or fear that your teammate doesn't know what he's doing and blows himself up.
Can you stack mines? Because that sounds ridiculously OP

Why did she blink into the path?
She can't see it though...
Seriously? so like if you're unfortunate enough to walk onto a 20 stack of mines you'll pretty much die instantly even with 2 hearts? That's like 12k damage, magical or physical? If you say pure I quit.
physical if im not mistaken. SUICIDE FIRST BLOOD!!
It's mixed/composite damage, actually. Think Alchs chem spray.
Basically its physical damage that is also reduced by magic resistance. His suicide is the same type as well.
It's composite. On the other thing, I mean yeah he could have a 20 stack but then it's one possible kill in one spot on the map. That's the ball game for Techies. They really don't have much else to offer.
My main question is whether creeps will detonate the mines as well as heroes?
creeps detonate the Q not reallly sure it they detonated the statis
They do.
Techies wrecked havoc in DotA because everyone was bad and sentry wards were unheard of. Now, even trash players know enough from OPA OPA DENDI to buy sentries occasionally, Techies is going to have a really hard time.
Unless of course it's BATTLE TECHIES.
Even if creeps do mean jungle mines? How scary does that sound, or maybe shop mines? Roshan mines?
So this is something to consider with Techies is that the most frequently travelled areas of the map will have minesweepers constantly patrolling them in the form of your creepwaves and that you could do your own minesweeping by having a controlled creep walk in front of you.
He definitely has a great lethality to him but he also is pretty easy to unman with the numerous ways to prevent or reduce damage available to you.

4.8 million for a hero of our choice? Christ, Valve's cupidity knows no borders.
No?
Edit: Oh wait, I see. You mean 1.2 million more to get to the goal from this point thus earning them 4.8 million.

Yep. With all my love to Valve this is just absurd. Obviously they realize that their way of releasing heroes isn't as good as community demands, but instead of making weekly polls on the hero released next they went for a quick cash grab. Community may not reach that last goal, but be sure they will try. Ugh.
Production is concurrent, it's not like Skullgirls where all they have so far are concepts and when a character's in production, the entire team focuses on it.
There's probably 3-4 heroes in the works in parallel at any given time and holding that up or reorganizing the teams to meet some weekly polls is just a waste of time and resources.

Man Chen is Too Fucking Fun, so much to do in jungle double stacking camps to kill with tornado. Solo push lanes too good.
