gotta say my techies learning process was coddled some. I've been trying to re-learn earth spirit by watching the top dotabuff guys and it's a much harder process. Item builds are all over the place, jeraxai hasn't played him in days so I can't watch his replays in game, and many of the top people with him don't play him as often as I'd like. Techies seems to cater to specialists who play him constantly, and mine placements and timings are easier to learn than ES combos and when you should and shouldn't go in 1v2/3/4. I thought I was getting better at learning the game, but my first few days have been humbling.

Actually, why are dual lanes so niche in the competitive/high-skill meta but so prevalent in the lower tiers? Is it because a skilled offlaner in theory can lane against multiple heroes?

Dual lanes are simple and straightforward. Trilanes require coordination you don't see often in pubs, certainly not among 3 random strangers. Roaming requires a high degree of game sense and also coordination. Solo suiciding is a matter of pure skill, most players can barely confidently win a 1v1, asking them to 2v1 is a recipe for disaster.

The 2-1-2 configuration is the simplest to execute. Any other configuration is a crapshoot unless you're queueing as a team.
