[@nekoluxuria7721]

@@enzotansingco2199 man old blast off was lets say, retarded. Basically oneshot most of the roster at L1. And because he didnt have to be alive to be online, you just needed blink, a lot of mana. And then mine your base up. Afterwards just go out of your coom cave and blast off some poor support, you kill the support, the enemy gets nothing out of it. And you still get to keep going.

When Dota 2 was still in early post-TI1 beta phase, there's a limited number of heroes in the pool. Then, most of these heroes are spellcasters. Unfortunately, one hero managed to take advantage on that. The old players will long remember that reign of terror: Anti-Mage a.k.a. Anti-Fun

What a miss for not having JerAx in the Earth Spirit commentary. He's the first pioneer player in Dota2 whom understood how broken Earth Spirit really was. Back then not many people knows how to play Earth Spirit well, which is why Earth Spirit was overlooked upon release.

[@mastersnu810]

yep , started using earth spirit after watching jerax on pub , pretty good hero back then since the pull skill stun the enemy isntead of push

[@cowpolk5763]

[@GranMaj]

On release Jingu is the single most broken ability in the game its not even close. You can not lose trade under any circumstances, and you one shot squishy at lvl 2.

Having old techies + Medusa on either teams is always a guaranteed 80+ minute games.

[@drunkenwoodelf]

unless someone decided to buy blue wards, then old techies is 90% countered.

[@detaramegaming]

@@drunkenwoodelf blue wards and gem does not always guarantee a win against a good techies player (especially with a techies that has aghs, force staff and teammates like Tiny, Magnus, Rubick or Venge). the main reason why the games take longer is because it feels like 4v5, techies's teammates can't push because techies is usually busy planting mines in their base and enemies are also scared to push because they don't know where the bombs are planted.

I've spent hours playing old techies. Stacking mines on top of each other in enemies secret shop area and waiting for courier to come just to kill it for the bait so all the enemy team would push you, was a mayhem. I loved it. Saying that, i love new techies also. Stacking 100 mines in the mid lane forest, getting yourself to low hp and baiting enemy team to rush you striaght into your mines, omg i always die laughing when i get rampage or ultra kill that way. The insta tips from oppposite team for that its so common. Patience is a key with this hero now.

[@itsmejustin0215]

My sentiments as well bro. Missed the old Techies but God damn this new Techies is sooooooo versatile. Dude can be a skill type with ET, and Blast-off/Proximity combo. Can be a hitter type with that long ass range. And can be a tank maxing 2nd, getting tank items, and rushing aghs scepter

It was definitely because of how normal MK nowadays. But there's definitely still mental trauma from that patch.

[@jokester3969]

As someone that loved old techies, it really needed to be changed. What I would do was buy my items as fast as possible, teleport top if I was radiant or bot if I was dire, and there was a spot in lane that the creep wave would just barely walk passed, but was still the middle of the lane. Put down enough mines to one shot people before the first minion wave arrived, get first blood or maybe a double kill when they walk into lane, and then buy soul ring. It worked every single time. The old suicide was also really bad, because it let you do a ton of damage and deny yourself, giving them nothing and probably taking a lot from them. I would rule a lane 1v2 just running at the enemy players when they had the audacity to try to play the game correctly and have fun. After a while you got into late game, and after a point I would just go into the enemy secret shop and start mining it up, always getting 3+ kills minimum before they would just give up on it and try for ours. It was very fun for me, but I will be the first to admit it's a nightmare to play against and ruins the game for techies teammates.
