[@Ptitnain2]

I went from Crusader to Legend thanks to your guides. 😊

[@manuelmarce2544]

TIL Tazer has a basic dispel for enemies attacking you. In my recent games, when I am faced with WR, I prioritize getting a Shard after Boots so just I can disarm her if she Focus Fires one of my allies.

[@xenotyphon]

It also dispels her Windrun so your pos 1 can actually fight back, especially in the early game.

[@sebastianbonilla1323]

Dispels are op against the most cancer /low skilled heroes Ursa, MK, WR, SB

[@sellswordluet9502]

i've been looking everywhere for a dota youtuber like you. thanks for being there

[@petertran7360]

A lot of your videos have definitely helped me get a better understanding of what to do as a support. Thanks mane

[@nbody2317]

Great video as always, Zach! Would be nice to also hear some counters and synergies, even though supports are usually first pick, it's good to know who I should focus on in the game or who will be focusing on me to get that upper hand.

[@BiggestOfSlimesMyGuy]

I get so hype when I see new videos from you.

[@briantamagos2306]

Let's go! Love this hero. Been using him whenever he's open.

[@ichangiz]

Great video on an all around great hero. Thanks zach

[@karthikanil5261]

Thank you for these videos.

[@jaredw6808]

I just reached 6k because of techies (and ran into zach while i was calibrating), and the hero just feels too op. If i’m in a lane where i feel like i can harass a lot with autoattacks i go 2 circlet, tango, sentry, and branches with remaining gold. If you get kills early you can rush arcanes (when ur lane partner also needs mana) or build into 2 bracers before arcanes. It makes you really tanky with crazy damage for laning and earlygame brawling. He can flash farm unsafe waves for your team, cut waves behind towers to stall

[@kwamebrownofficial]

Techies redemption. Thanks for the guide!!

[@Whitemage132]

Started picking up shard fairly early vs. LC since she's so popular atm. Learned the hard way that the damage from reactive tazer gets reflected to you from Blade Mail

[@R.Jake.L]

Thanks for this! Really afraid to try out tech and fail 😂😅

[@chunkeebread]

love playing techies. Has a bloated kit rn. did not need that basic dispel btw and having his old ags become his shard and his old shard (half of the effect pretty much going to his basic ability) feels really good. good techies thing ive noticed. spirit breaker and ember spirit have movement abilities that are affected by movement speed. latching a sticky bomb onto these heroes before they use their abilities incredibly makes their lives worse. do try to use sticky for such situations. please leave some techies tips for me too since im straight up just abusing the hero and i went from getting stuck in 3k to now 4.5k

[@LLlap]

Been playing Techies for the last couple of days. Really strong.

[@starestd]

I find Aether Lens is also very good on him as it improve all four of your spells.

[@thecrystalblue23]

could u make a guide for mirana as pos 4, i love playing her but don't know how to use her in right way

[@GadBoDag]

So what you're saying is that I should rush Ethereal Blade and try to get 20 solo kills like Techies Official...

[@peskycritter79]

He he he he! Oh, this is gonna be fun!

[@trippy1v349]

For some reason I can’t pick techies in any game even though he’s not blocked. Any idea why that would happen? I am very very new I only have like 20 games.

[@TheRealHubeau]

Clockwork cage also blocks your E, which is very annoying.

[@TheCoolBacon]

can you do a dazzle one

[@Colopty]

Being able to kill a minefield sign only during the time it's being planted is some delicious spaghetti code.

[@MrCutler2012]

Where can i find this training map ?

[@eXWoLL]

The lvl15 talent for mana is for times where you go drums tranquils instead of mana boots. Probably for games you are snowballing .

[@migzfurry165]

can abbadon be played pos 5?

[@tiago.t3]

Gaben watch your vids, just after this, nerfed techies XD

[@keatonwastaken]

Also a small suggestion, hitting triple mine combo is way easier if you have the ultimate on Quickcast. I love the new Techies, he is finally enjoyable.

[@LLlap]

Everything is way way way easier on Quickcast.

[@keatonwastaken]

@@LLlap Yes, but quickcast can cause you to mess up often.

[@lavarel]

​@@keatonwastakenquicicast on keys up is where the gold are. All the benefit of quickcast with the accuracy of normal cast

[@LLlap]

Tusk Punch interrupts Blast Off.

[@LeonardoPostacchini]

That is because it is forced movement, just like Z said.

[@TheGlenn8]

It probably should be +150 Stickybomb damage / Radius lmao.

[@g4md0r32]

I think they need to nerf his attack damage by like 6-8 early. He will still be able to harass others since he has very high range and sticky bomb is really good. I haven't played him but i have played a lot against him and he seems giga busted and since the pros agree he is...

[@MrManOverThere]

Techies nerf when? I need mmr gonna grind this out. Expect some bad techies replays to review on twitch

[@jiristejskal6669]

I recommend Meteorhammer for extra pushing power 😅

[@z3219825]

Any Techies Official viewers here? 3 bracer strat is the best

[@LeonardoPostacchini]

Oh, boy…

[@ringguy2420]

Techies really went from the worst hero in the game to one of the best.

[@davidsun9026]

Bring back old techies 😢

[@Randomperson-sz2gq]

People: techies has 99% win rate Me being that 1%

[@MarkusAkaMasse]

Techies was never boring nore passive! WTF is he talking about!

[@jeffreyandia5179]

I disagree, Tazer is not as good as lvling up blast off at lvl 3/4 It's quite better to put a lvl on it after lvl 6

[@ZQuixotix]

That's fair, I do think a second point in blast can be pretty good depending on the game. It can be about 10 minutes between level 4 and level 8 sometimes though, so I think it's really good to think on whether you'll want Disarm in that timeframe. If you don't want it, then it's totally fine to get a second point in E

[@HugeCockAndBalls]

@@ZQuixotix Its tazer if you're behind or need it for the matchup and level 2 blast off if you're ahead and getting kills IMO. Blast off is like a level 2 ability at level 1, so its kind of insane if you already had kills and you have a level on them. It's like you're doing +1 level damage all the time and if you're an actual level ahead GG

[@thecookies6109]

The old techies was still better..... -Infinte free vison with green mines.... stat mine to stop sb charges and combo with reds... sigh. value doesn't care about techies they didn't even update the lore.

[@Ycpunkrock]

Rip already outdated. jk jk

[@ZQuixotix]

Haha rip. So goes content creation. After reading the patch though, honestly it's still mostly the same but just a little worse. I think he's still a good support and will be played in a very similar manner

[@suntzu6122]

Blast off is prob better than reactive most of the time. I max it before reactive almost always. Aghs and Euls are terrible items on techi. Being universal, Mantastyle is actually super good.

[@makisaka1337]

lol
