Techies counterpicks: who to choose against this hero in Dota 2

Techies - is a universal ranged hero. He is often used in a support role. Thanks to the combination of his abilities, he is able to effectively control enemies and deal a huge amount of magic damage.

A good choice against Techies will be heroes that:

• Have high resistance to magic damage, or abilities that grant immunity to effects
• Can dispel negative effects
• Have high mobility.

Some of the best heroes against Techies:

• Oracle - Fortune's End will allow you to dispel debuffs from all Techies abilities (Blast Off stun can only be dispelled with False Promise), and thanks to Fate's Edict Oracle can safely clear Proximity Mines.
• Juggernaut - Blade Fury is a great save against all of Techies abilities, and Omnislash and Swiftslash will allow you to deal with him without fear of Reactive Tazer.
• Rubick - All of the abilities he can steal from Techies are pretty useful, especially Proximity Mines, which will turn Squee, Splin and Spoon's strongest side against their team. Rubick also has increased magic resistance due to his innate ability, and can prevent Blast Off by using Telekinesis.

Other good choices against Techies are Lifestealer, Templar Assassin, Bristleback, Omniknight, Nyx Assassin, Abaddon, Legion Commander, Slark, Phantom Lancer, Medusa, Timbersaw, Spectre, Faceless Void, Pangolier, Storm Spirit and Huskar.

In addition to heroes, the following items will be effective against Techies:

• Black King Bar/Pipe of Insight/Mage Slayer/Glimmer Cape - against magic damage.
• Nullifier will help against “save” items that are often purchased on Techies, such as Glimmer Cape, Aeon Disk, Eul's Scepter of Divinity, and Force Staff. Additionally, Nullifier dispels Reactive Tazer.
• Aeon Disk/Force Staff/Hurricane Pike/Eul's Scepter of Divinity/Wind Waker - a good save against Techies.
• Manta Style - use will allow you to avoid damage and stun from Blast Off, and with Illusions you can mine Proximity Mines.
• Scythe Of Vyse/Skull Basher/Abyssal Blade/Orchid Malevolence/Bloodthorn - to control Techies.

How to counter Techies:

Early game:

On the lane, Techies are strong thanks to Sticky Bomb and Blast Off. Try not to get hit by these abilities, and get Magic Stick and Infused Raindrops. Techies may have mana issues early on, which you can take advantage of.

Mid-game:

Ensure you have a good vision on the map and don't go into areas that may be mined or where Techies may be waiting for you. Also, it's worth remembering that Techies effectively sets up kills with Sticky Bomb and Blast Off, so don't stay alone in dangerous areas.

Late Game:

Even with an advantage, getting on base against Techies is quite difficult. It is important to be careful and avoid getting into a mined area. You can clear enemy territory using illusions and summons, and it's best to initiate fights when Techies has already used Minefield Sign (upgraded by Aghanim's Scepter). If you do get caught in this ability's effect, remember that it doesn't deal damage to targets that remain stationary. When attempting to kill Techies, keep in mind that he or his allies might lure you into mines while retreating. Additionally, in the late game, having items like Black King Bar and Pipe of Insight is crucial, as they will make dealing with Techies significantly easier.

Overall strategy

To successfully counter Techies, it is important to ensure proper ward placement and purchase items that increase magic resistance. An aggressive playstyle and map control will prevent him from setting up mines in advantageous locations. Additionally, heroes with high mobility are particularly effective against Techies. Stick to the right strategy and don’t let him reach his full potential.
