Editorial:All The Noble's Guides are noble and manually made from me so i keep my rights reserved rofl.i m against c/p so when u want to publish this guide and claim it as your own give proper credits

 

My favorite DOTA hero!!!Here is a self made guide.My goal is not to make you imba with Techies but at least teach you the way to play him right

 

 

History

 

Devilishly clever, The Goblin Techies, despite their small physical presence, are a force to be reckoned with. In line with their Goblin brethren, the Techies have the skill of laying mines in the earth, invisible to the naked eye. Also, after extensive training with the Orcish voodoo priests of Kalimdor, the Techies are adept at laying paralysis-inducing traps along with their potent explosives. Wary be the foe who takes these three lightly.

Why Should i Choose Techies?

1)Because Noble says so...

2)Because he is an offensive hero to play with

3)Techies are the best farmer in the game(its Squee and Spleen so techies is actually 2 goblins)

4)The Best defender in game

5)Can turn the odds in a battle with a simple kaboom or trap

6)Doesnt let the enemy team get exp when you are in difficult situation(aka Suicide)

7)Longest Range hero(Kardel the sniper reaches the same range with his passive in 3 lvl)

8)The best Mana Regeneration in game

9)The best First Blooder

 

Why shouldnt I choose Techies?

 

1)Because he is NOT noob or newbie friendly hero

2)Lowest MS in game(270)

3)Lowest base damage,hp,mp

4)because you dont want to be another noob who just becomes mujahentin-harakiri noob (suicider)who detonates all time and leaving his team with numeral disadvantage leaving or not

5)many times you many never reach lvl25(because of suicides,deaths,leavers etc)

6)Techies are UNAVAILABLE in -rd games :'( :'( :'( :'(

7)Easily disabled when enemies carry gems

 

Noble's Note

 

Techies surely is NOT run around and Kab00m!!!! the first one we encounter!epic fail!!! techies should have the last word in any battle(phrase:'For all my homies' imo isnt lucky )!!! also in order to play effectively with Techies you MUST calculate how much dmg our skills deal on enemies.i remind you that heroes have a passive 25% magic protection!something that makes me sad is that in many games ppl choose techies thinking that this char is an easy char to play believing that running and using suicide will make them the imbas.CLEARLY NOT!dont humiliate yourself like that

Noble's Note #2

 

For me there are NO luxury items because we cant get them xD the game is ruined until we do!

Planting mines in your lane is the most essential thing to survival. However, spending 10 minutes out of your lane planting mines in the jungle is foolish. Plant and return to fight

 

Techies is a Psychology char meaning enemies will always be afriad of the mines ...

 

PS:Vengeful Spirit:His magic missile can stun opponents!in this time you can add a kill in your score. his Swap can transfer your opponent direct to your bombs or nexto to you giving you a clear shot for a kill :D

General Tips

 

Never use Suicide Squad next to an enemy tower when you're remaining HP is under 150 or less!You ll just die...

Use your lane partner (if you are with a partner) to disable the target then make the Suicide kill(if you want to make a suicide

Disable tanks and disablers. Use Cyclone to Tanks, then Guinsoo to other disablers

Suicide is better when its from behind :D

Use Suicide Squad on the enemy if escape is inevitable.cast it on the ground (or the enemy hero) before dying to deny them of experience, kill, as well as gold.

 

Who are my best Allies?

 

Tanks: Heroes with insane amount of Health Points and Armor Level. He takes the damage while you help back up with disable and your team with the damage.(Clock,Centaur,Axe,Sven,Tiny)

:

 

Silencers:Prevent your enemy from casting spells on you.you re the first target ! ^^ (Nortrom,Traxex,Krobelus,Lucifer)

 

Tiny:Become his grenade :d exp +Gold =GG :P

 

Ezalor:Chakra magic FTW =Replenish your mp fast ^^

 

 

Worst Enemies

 

Tanks:Heroes with Great ammounts of HP is difficult to get down that easily

examples:

 

Invisible Guys:You cant kill something you cant see xD cases like Rikimaru,Gondar,Clinkz

 

True Sight:Rootfellen can see invisible things :/ take care

Also for ally heroes i would place Vengefull spirit cause of the swap (ulti) skill which can bring enemy on great amount of mines,Stasis Traps etc etc! :D

[Noble®]

Or venge can use Magic Missile to stun the opponent while using swap to detonate our mines xD

[NITROUS SYSTEM]

[WebM0nst3r]

/respect noble

 

i don't know why this guide is not allready sticked

 

Sticky!

[NotAbastard]

Just to add something : You must never be seen when placing your traps. If you do it, it makes them useless, since they'll just avoid them or place a ward and destroy them...

 

[DreaM]

/respect noble

 

i don't know why this guide is not allready sticked

 

Sticky!

 

Ok quit the d1cksuck say thanks and thats all the thread shouldn't be stickied, there is not logic in sticking it since they aren't that much topics in here and whatever you do it will be most likely on first page for a long long time and besides if you want a hero build or smth the other sticky gives it all to you so unstickied.

[Noble®]

just because i ll make some guides on difficult dota heroes just like this one it s wise that none of them should be stickied :)

[DreaM]

just because i ll make some guides on difficult dota heroes just like this one it s wise that none of them should be stickied :)

 

Imo make a guide saying "NobLe's Heros strategies" And than it will get stickied 100% if its good of course :).

[xKenji]

i agree...

 

there are many guides in this section and we can't afford (not moneywise) to sticky them all...

 

was going to suggest it but Noble did put a lot of effort in it :)

[Noble®]

i double posted because i reached the 20k character limit :P its almost impossible to merge them all in one :P

 

so i ll prefer to get them in seperate topics xD

 

but(my idea) i believe we should not ignore Notabastard topic too
