Just hope that supports will actually buy more Sentry Wards now. Still, I feel that Dota2 players should still feel the pain of Dota1 players when stepping on bombs and killing themselves.

It will be fun, I feel like you should just get a gem actually, if you protect it for long enough or indefinitely, it is a lot more cost efficient.
I got to Notable, Thanks!

There is great fun to be had with techies and tiny.

Technique 1: toss into mines.
Technique 2: the arabian handgrenade, toss techies to enemy into suicide.
Alternate Technique 3: earth spirit.

The end.

@Timminatorr

I feel like a video needs to be uploaded to youtube called "Top 20 ways to troll with Techies" or something like that. I mean I just keep thinking about deliberately going into a low level pub just to stack mines and watch as an invisible riki walks over them. c: Oh how fun things shall be.
Your new diet for heroes; You will need 4 wards (cuz wards taste better), 1 set of tangoes, 1 mango, 1 cheese.
With this you can make a nice Tango Mango Cheese platter. You can wash this all down with a nice bottle of water, Can be flavoured with red, green, yellow, blue, purple AND GOLD!
Caution: Taking roshan 3 times is required.

To the ones that can play Techies properly ( not stacking up mines like an idiot in front of a tower then hoping enemies would actually push it ) this is really good ( yay for me ).To everyone else, this is how you play Techies:

You buy wards and courier, you get a soul ring, you ward anyway since you have to move around the map anyway to plant dem bombs.

Now the skill usage is as it follows : You make small bomb "packs" with 1 remote mine, 1 normal mine and a statis trap.No more no less.


So stop the infamous "RIP DOTA 2" stuff, Dota 1 was awesome with Techies, Dota 2 is going to be the same.

Just based off cyborgmatts's blog, the techie concept art has been done for quite awhile, but the hero isn't as far along in the design process as pit lord or oracle. Pit lord is the furthest along, and looks to be on the horizon for a release, techies look like they're going to be released awhile down the road. This is just based off of the design chart on cyborgmatts's blog.
Step 1: Pick Bristleback
Step 2: type in all chat:"GL hf"
Step 3: solo offlane
Step 4: first blood triple kill solo vs trilane
Step 5: continue head butting keyboard
Step 6: don't care, Bristleback doesn't give a ****
Step 7: screenshot repeated: BB OP comments in all chat
Step 8: alternate games with Slark pick

That doesnt mean much. Its based on what had been shown by valve.
Ember, earth and terrorblade were also released without concept.
The same for a lot of other heroes.

Hence why I stated just by the blog. Terrorblade's had several concepts, just some you have to really dig for, but techies concept art has been done for quite awhile, as far back as January of last year according to the update date on the unreleased hero chart. It does come down to who valve determine to release and when inevitably, so this is all rumor mill until the heroes are spotted in test.

Im pretty sure there was no released concept art for terrorblade.
The art you are talking about is probably fanart that briefly tricked some people.
