Wouldn't it be less of a problem then? The courier is magic immune so mines can't do much against it and it means less death if people use it alot more to buy stuff from the secret shop.

Mine is set to 1. What does it mean? I usually run everything on high and get a steady 1080/60. What else is there to enhance?

It's probably "The International Europe" and it'll have another compendium and all the fantasy team stuff again and all the items and they'll make a whole event out of it and it'll have a million dollar prize pool with gd studio hosting it and it'll be in stadiums and it'll be super awesome.

Most of his stuff is mixed damage iirc.

1 is lower than 3 so your shadows etc probably won't be as high quality.
The auto config stuff for that is broken with a large number of GPUs so often gives you lower settings than what you should have.
Here's a maxed out config:
Code:
"config"
{
"setting.fullscreen" "0"
"setting.nowindowborder" "1"
"setting.aspectratiomode" "1"
"setting.mat_vsync" "0"
"setting.mat_monitorgamma" "2.200000"
"setting.mat_queue_mode" "-1"
"setting.cpu_level" "2"
"setting.mem_level" "2"
"setting.gpu_mem_level" "2"
"setting.defaultres" "1920"
"setting.defaultresheight" "1080"
"setting.gpu_level" "3"
"setting.version" "1"
"setting.mindxlevel" "92"
"setting.maxdxlevel" "100"
"setting.dxlevel" "100"
"setting.mat_viewportscale" "1.000000"

Pretty much how i was playing him. grabbing runes whenever i can and trying to gank. No one else really had an initiator so when i went all sacraficial and kept owning zeus on the other team. I would get focused on and my team would run away.

Thx a lot. For some reason mine seems to be shorter. I will try your configuration to see how it works. Rig: R9 270x / Phenom II X4 965 / 8GB

does this config provide settings higher than the in-game menu would, or is it just a config version of options you already could get via the options menu?

I'm not above wasting bans..
Anyways, I asked this yesterday and am hoping to get some feedback.
I need a go to offlaner now as I want to stop playing BH...Clockwerk seems real fun as an offlaner.
Don't worry about it, how could they do another Techies unreachable goal in the next compendium if he gets to be the next hero released.

Techies really needs to be the ongoing forever joke of dota 2. Release every hero other than techies and always hint or allude to the thought of him being released.
Your MMR is adjusting up with each game, just give it some more time...
I'm not experienced enough to answer all questions on him, but Agh's is not always core. It's very fucking good and if you can get it you should because it's also very fun, but if you are behind it's sometimes better to get cheaper items. Blademail, mek,other defensive items are all useful. Get arcanes if you are not getting bottle and need mana. If you do get bottle you can get phase instead. If you are snowballing then after Agh's you might want a Shiva's, hex, AC, general utility offense items. Just keep hookshotting and it's all good.
Edit: Well here we go on that announcement I guess.
Edit2: Here we are, pretty cool

Meh. Just tell us what hats they'll include on the ticket.
Most morphs I see go shotgun morph, which is where they buy eth blade and use their scaling nuke to gank. Most of them are more confident than they are successful.

The point of morph is that you want to torment your team mates for 50 minutes, as you can't finish before that.
However, if you do well you'll have a lot while doing it.

Thats pretty much what I was thinking. Hopefully something good like d2cl and nothing trash like starladder
Sweet!! Looks really great Anuxi, good job.
I just felt like I couldn't even get off the ground with Morph. Like I clearly needed 40 more minutes of farm, seems super boring.
Won 3 Nyx games though through no fault of my own. I whiffed so many point blank spikes, it was embarrassing. I felt like I was wandering around not doing anything most of the time, and am I supposed to end up with just mana boots and dagon? Seems wrong.

It prints money
Haha, sorry, wasn't clear. By "worse" I mean techies has X less amount of utility for the reasons you pointed out ( and now my knowledge is failing meold walking couriers in DotA 1 were magic immune as well, right?).
He's always been an odd hero--if he's doing his job laying defenses and traps, he's bound to get extremely underleveled, and playing him offensively (as someone pointed out by using him with a Pudge, Kunkka, or some other hero that can get the unit to where the mines are) seems difficult for most situations outside true pro tier.
I usually stomped people with him or got stomped, and rarely had middling games. But at this point it's mostly just mindtheory (perhaps somewhat compensating for the weaker utility of mining ss would be that in my opinion people are much more aware of wards, especially with the built in ping/callouts, so mining those might have greater benefits. I also feel like the wards CD benefits him as well, and at least would require players fighting Techies to be more active with truesight.)
Get a blink. It gives you much more use than a dagon. Aim to work on those impales till you are blinking in and getting 3 at a time, like Funnik
Also, that stadium is pretty big. I guess we'll get the answer to our discussion from before as to whether we could fill up something that big.
Gonna be grinding out hard carries today for ranked. Doing a bit more commentary than usual, lemme know how it goes.

Before bamboo goes and gets crunched with him on stream I wanna say I'm shocked that Brew isn't a more common pick up or even just a pubstomper. He's still super good and with that blink buff whoo...
I haven't had enough time with the new aghs ult maybe that's the problem...

New brew aghs sucks.
Correct. I just checked the wiki page for flying courrier, seems like abilites that affect it only applies stuns and not the damage (sladar's stun will only stun and not deal any damage to it). I'm guessing the mines won't do anything to it.
I feel like he's going to be played like a broodmother. Sticks into one lane, appropriate it to yourself although this will be alot more aggressive in their case. To not lose any xp he'll just mine the area around the lane to make himself hard to gank. Could also lane in top or bottom, for easy mines in shops and rune spots.
Seems like he's the type of hero you buy a gem just for him. With the amount of mines he can spam I feel like it could easily make up for the cost of gem.
Then again, I never played him, so I might be totally wrong.

no u suck
I'm watching it fine on my iPad through the site. You might have to hit play on the video a few times because it times out the first couple of presses.
As long as there isn't a concert with a guy dressed in plastic covered in Christmas lights.
