I just had the best and worst of dota in one game.
The teammates were flaming, racist assholes (only Health the enigma was cool).
The match was very close and ended with a super intense baserace where our ancient survived at 124/4250 hp.
Regardless of evenness, our team still decided to close out with 'gg noobs'. Enjoy low priority jerks

you get placed on low priority by leaving games, not by flaming. flamers get muted at worst, and since they reduced the number of reports cause of people reporting others for picking certain heroes, it's really hard to get muted these days. you have to basically flame your team and the enemy for like 20 games in a row

You guys still at buckley's?
talking about techies, I've tried them a bit and whats your opinion of them? So far they feel like a pudge tier hero (will lose lane against pretty much any hero), I think eul's is probably the best first item on them (mana regen +ms +setup for a mine+mine ult combo). They feel really strong defensively and against rat dota but I dunno where they would play.
I also like that you can potentially setup a 12 seconds stun with your 2nd ability. First blood with quad stacked mines around sideshop/rune spots also seem pretty good early game and stun mine seems great to prevent tower dives.
thoughts?
Yeah I'm not sure where to lane him either -- but he does have one advantage in that unlike pudge he doesn't rely on levels too much. Bascially you can roam level one as long as someone has a stun to set up a mine placement. Problem is, he's super slow, so starting boots might not be a bad idea, but it'll gimp your sustain.
The other thing is that every overexcited idiot is going to see the dmg on suicide and think it's a free first blood when it's not, since it's composite dmg it's reduced by armor and magic resistance(?). Not saying it isn't an easy kill, but it requires set up, but most people are just going to run at the first person they see and waste it.
I took what kirby said and tried him jungle, and it's the lane I think he might be most effective in -- like an enchantress who jungles but is checking the lane constantly looking for kills. Jungling with him relies heavily on staking the small camp though (at least in my testing), so you're kind of gimping the other support in lane some. It's doable though. Starting build would be sage's/tangos and wards/tps/clarities depending on what other people buy. You want small camps all the time and you want to stack them to make the most of mines early on. If you choose tp you can run to rune before the game starts, plant a mine, tp back, and be in the camps with full mana before jungle creeps spawn.
I think he's super fun overall but you're right in that he's kind of a -1 in lane unless your team shows some coordination early on. But he's super great in fights in that he can singlehandedly stop pushing just with the threat of mines, and if you're careful enough it'll be hard for the enemy team to ever get a kill on you with suicide. If you can anticipate a melee mid though, he can have great rune control and be relatively safe there. Maybe elitegaf will tell me I'm dumb or whatever but that's just how I feel.
And yes, Eul's is my item of choice but everyone's gonna build blink on him because they're going to think suicide is free killz ez.
Edit: he might not be a bad offlane either. Which would make him like Earth Spirit, which might be why I like them?
Mid seems like the natural lane with him because the river ramps create a lot of natural bottlenecks that can be used to get those mines unloaded plus you have good ambush opportunities when they go for runes. Also, mids don't tend to buy wards so you have to worry less about mines getting revealed. Not sure how good of a ganker (should be decent with suicide bombing) he is but it seems like the natural lane for him or support on the safe lane since it'll be easier to set up traps when he's going out of sight a lot to pull and stuff.
that's probably how it should work, yeah.
Jungling's an idea, had played around with it but usually after the laning phase. Although I disagree with only putting one mine on the rune spot. At spawn you grab a tp, tango and 3 clarities (you'll have 200-ish gold left). TP to mid tower, go to a rune spot, pop a mine (first mine should be around 1 min before start of game), pop first clarity when cd is around 18s and you should be able to plant 4 mines (=900 dmg factoring in mr, 675 with only 3 mines) before the 30s mark and you can use the other clarities to jungle. You have a guaranteed first blood or rune denial for most of the early game.
Pretty much agree on everything else, although normally ms is extremely important for the offlane (since you want to run away) and he has the lowest base ms in the game, the stun trap might help his offlaning.
Yeah, perfect spot for traps, but if you're the mid player it kind of gives it away when you spend time away from lane and you lose the passive xp from the lane.

just mute anyone who annoys you. the report system is always either too sensitive or too lenient. and that's never gonna change, since it's completely automated and people just abuse whichever side of the balance it's on. plus, you get to identify these people in future games
I'll try this! Bad part is that bots know where your shit is so it's hard to test how effective that is, and it could hamper his early jungle potential.

Is there any delay on suicide squad attack? It seems it would be way too easy to deny yourself with it, but the wiki mentions no delay and techies have an instant cast time.
Oh i've tried it, as long as there's a rune on that spot, the bot will walk on the mines. I dunno about hampering his early jungle, you still have 2 clarities and 200 gold left if you wanted more and you'll be spending the first moments stacking instead of putting mines, so you'll have times to regen imo.
no, no real delay, If you're gonna die just e on where you're standing and gg.
And I guess with pulls one should be able to jungle. I'm aiming for a 7min arcanes.
for some reason I read that as " fire pit and hot_bid confirmed boysssss" and thought it was a far more insidious post

These people buying 10k worth of workshop cards are going to be pretty surprised when they add them to the store as normal items like Valve announced they would and the items are worth pennies...
