Garrad3 If that were the case, he'd be played/banned in every pro game. There's plenty of ways to counterplay against techies. Pick Abaddon. Pick Zeus.
Garrad3 I'm bad at the game in general, to the point where even as my best heroes I can hope for, at best, a roughly equal K:D ratio. I've gotten monster kill sprees as Techies without even noticing. Dude is NOT hard.
Enemy has techies; can't be aggressive, too many mines. You have techies on your team; can't be aggressive, we only have 4 heroes to fight with and our advantage is where we have the mines. Result: 10 year games.
Denamic Since the change to landmine detonation time,a good Techies will teamfight in 5v5's. They'll be mining happily whilst you guys go for a gank though, but the damage they can dish out in a teamfight is too much to be ignored, plus lets him immediately push with you guys if you win.
S117 Shit, man. That hurts. You are super good at random insults. I'm basically rendered sterile by the sheer magnitude of your razor wit. You should seek a career in youtube insults, because you're just that good.
I dont play dota, but your vids are inspirationally funny. Your brand of wit, combined with your childlike drawings are side splitting. Me, my 14 year old son and 65 year old dad all sit and laugh hysterically at your stuff. Thanks!
Just got finished with an 85 minute match where enemies only won because we literally couldn't go into their base, even with wraith king and aegis the pure anmount of bombs made it impossible and we eventually lost because while we tried to push any advantage we could the enemy team could farm and and split push over time, in the end it just came down to we could push and we couldnt, thank you pflax, i needed this
Everytime I watch your guides I think the same thing: "Ted, you've outdone yourself". This is 100% true yet again. This is your masterpiece. This is JUST not as epic as "Broodmother didn't blow up the projects", though.
I don't even play dota anymore, and I still watch your non gameplay videos. How cool is that. Can't wait for your TI5 videos although i ain't watching that bullshit this year.
I remember playing Lich and the enemy had Techies. Ever since then, I renamed Dota to Minesweeper. The good thing, we won, and that Techies went insane after how I countered him. And I still managed to get Aghanim.
"The cavalcade of crying eyes" LMAO. I don't know if that's a reference to something but if you actually just pulled that straight from your noggin then you are a legitimate genius and expert wordsmith. Well played Mr. Flax, well played.
Whoops, he put both my preview image sample thing (I put it on my Twitter with his name) in at 11:53 and the full piece of art I actually e-mailed him in at 11:43.
stasis trap should be a silence with a medium move and auto attack slow for 3 secs. suicide should be replaced with a poison trap that deals damage over time(non-lethal)
Can't wait for the next video in this series a year from now.
Andrew Kaser The crafting of good art takes time.
obionedogan Yea those high quality hand drawn pics take a lot of effort
Andrew Kaser Unsubbed, unfollowed, shitstreamer.
Andrew Kaser Can't wait for your next video to hit 20 views.
***** Oh no, my channel that I don't ever post decent content on or give two shits about is small.
My feelings are so hurt.
But, he leaves a little sign to warn you :(
RockSoftCookie
-Dont blame us!
-Watch your steps next time
RockSoftCookie And then you are so distracted by the sign that the enemy team smokes around and kills your team.
*techies is a top tier pick*
Sgt.James Doakes -s4
yang zixiang WIN EVERY GAME
*EEVVERRRYYY GGAMMMEEEE*
The thing that balances Techies is that 80% of players suck at him.
Garrad3 But 100% of teammates likes to walk into mines.
Garrad3 If that were the case, he'd be played/banned in every pro game. There's plenty of ways to counterplay against techies. Pick Abaddon. Pick Zeus.
***** i hated when people always bought tranqs on techies
Garrad3 I'm bad at the game in general, to the point where even as my best heroes I can hope for, at best, a roughly equal K:D ratio.
I've gotten monster kill sprees as Techies without even noticing. Dude is NOT hard.
How can you possibly be bad with techies? Place mines somewhere uphill ??? Profit
Enemy has techies; can't be aggressive, too many mines. You have techies on your team; can't be aggressive, we only have 4 heroes to fight with and our advantage is where we have the mines. Result: 10 year games.

Highcalibur Good techies; a thing of legends and hearsay. Often referenced but rarely seen.
Denamic pick a hard carry, farm ten years, win game.
S117 Shit, man. That hurts. You are super good at random insults. I'm basically rendered sterile by the sheer magnitude of your razor wit. You should seek a career in youtube insults, because you're just that good.
Denamic u care enough to burst out a wall of text
I hope his kids see this.
i dont even play dota i just love sir pyrions rants XD
Techies is the best hero dota ever created:
1-no counter
2-unpredictable
3-diabolic
4-"One of my favorites"
5-top tier pick
+Aleksandar Makis Zeus is a glass cannon.
But pflax, techies is 3 goblins
It was still three Randjan
There's one inside the barrel Randjan
thehippiefreak Shh, they don't know he's there. Don't blow his cover.
Don't blow the lid on the barrel?
I bet Spoon wants the madness to end just as everyone else does.
If only he could get out of the barrel...
I love techies, gotta say, best hero.
wolfernater Villain*
wolfernater Welcome to the dark side.
mbd251 Sorry boy, they are RADIANT
I dont play dota, but your vids are inspirationally funny. Your brand of wit, combined with your childlike drawings are side splitting. Me, my 14 year old son and 65 year old dad all sit and laugh hysterically at your stuff. Thanks!
As a dirty techies picker...
This pleases me greatly.
*****
-They deserve it!
-They were weak!
-Cant deal with 1 hero? now deal with an entire game. SCIENCE
After three consecutive nerfs, I can safely say techies is now a joke.
he's a pretty good offlaner
Just got finished with an 85 minute match where enemies only won because we literally couldn't go into their base, even with wraith king and aegis the pure anmount of bombs made it impossible and we eventually lost because while we tried to push any advantage we could the enemy team could farm and and split push over time, in the end it just came down to we could push and we couldnt, thank you pflax, i needed this
I play techies to restock my jars of tears.
I want to see a new version of this video about how 7.00 Techies has none of these problems and yet is even more rage-inducing than ever.
-Thanks Pyrion!
-We didn't know you loved us so much!
-Everyone loves a good set of fireworks
Oh don't mind me, just your friendly Techies main enjoying the salt of my enemies, Pyrion, and usually my teammates
He's risen from the dead. All hail pflax
Damn, do I miss these.
Everytime I watch your guides I think the same thing: "Ted, you've outdone yourself". This is 100% true yet again. This is your masterpiece. This is JUST not as epic as "Broodmother didn't blow up the projects", though.
OMG, ITS A PYRION GUIDE
MUM GET THE POPCORN!
THERE ARE 3 GOBLINS IN TECHIES (love from Flieris)
Lenniuch
I don't suffer from techies, I am a techies :)
I love the fact that phantom bastard could be phantom lancer or phantom assassin
"The Cavalcade of Crying Eyes"
Brilliant
And yet all I can think of after watching this is "I want to play as Techies!"
I don't even play dota anymore, and I still watch your non gameplay videos. How cool is that. Can't wait for your TI5 videos although i ain't watching that bullshit this year.
Lol'd at the "Cavalcade of crying eyes".
that might just be the best song in the history of music
I love your salt on Techies. For sure learning him just for people like you.
"like you *dear watcher*" that is so sweet and lovely
MY KING HAS ARRIVED. HAIL TO TECHIES, LORD OF THE TROLLS.
KoopaKrump
-But.... goblins...
-Trolls? ppff
Glad to see you're back, hopefully for more than just one video...
And now Techies is dead.
9:04
Took me a while to realize that last 2 summons were gyro's rocket and weaver's beetle.
THE LORD IS BACK
this video made me want to play another 600 techie games
i know nothing about dota and i still bloody love this
Probably the best series on UA-cam xD wish he would do it often though
Finally this is here, have missed your guides pyrion
I think that Techies is a Michael Bay's creation
"How about you shampoo my balls with your saliva" - P-Flax 2015
F*cking genius
at 2:14 I literally had to pause the video, breathe, drink water, and like this video. funniest shit ever!
Long time coming, but worth the wait.
Thanks for using my picture and all Pyrion.
But full version of end song or riot.
I'm glad this series is back.
best song i`ve heard in a while.
I remember playing Lich and the enemy had Techies. Ever since then, I renamed Dota to Minesweeper. The good thing, we won, and that Techies went insane after how I countered him.
And I still managed to get Aghanim.
The salt is strong with this one, and I fucking love it.
Things like this only motivate me to pick techies more and more
As brief, concise and to the point as possible, nearly thirteen minutes of hate, let it flow through you P flax
Some memorable lyrics!
Very catchy
Everyone who says Techies is OP won't aknowledge the incredibly hard counters to him.
RIP old techies
yeah cant even deny yourself anymore. Also the suicides reduced respawn time was great.
MY DREAM IS TO HEAR :
welcome to Pyrion flix's guide to RRRRRRUbick :D
please mate ^^
"The cavalcade of crying eyes" LMAO. I don't know if that's a reference to something but if you actually just pulled that straight from your noggin then you are a legitimate genius and expert wordsmith. Well played Mr. Flax, well played.
I love techies.
and nyx too, he is the ultimate tech counter
The introduction to this video is causing me to seriously consider quitting my job :D
He says he wants to keep it brief and then he talks about his life story.
Techies isn't a troll. He's a goblin.
THE GUIDES ARE BACK!!!!!!
I think im gonna go play some more Techies today.
I am absolutely disappointed, that you didn't start this guide with:
"BOOM welcome to Pyrion Flax's Guide..."
Also, new guide yeeey!
HOLY WHAT!?!? PFLAX VIDEO!?WAIT WAIT... YEP, IT'S SNOWING OUTSIDE!
I would love to see slacks reaction to this
Ayy! I drew the Crystal maiden at 12:06 ! It was really fun to do!
Whoops, he put both my preview image sample thing (I put it on my Twitter with his name) in at 11:53 and the full piece of art I actually e-mailed him in at 11:43.
I was waiting so long for this!
that song was actually awesome
stasis trap should be a silence with a medium move and auto attack slow for 3 secs. suicide should be replaced with a poison trap that deals damage over time(non-lethal)
Whats even worse is if its uphill you cant deward it because you have to go up the hill to see the mines and you die from going up there.
Pyrion your children will see this one day.
Thank you for another guide flax, hilarious as usual!
Know what would have been the most useful fucking thing to teach us in school? How to do your fucking taxes.
Haha that was awesome. Thanks for adding my techies =)
GENERAL FLAX IS BACK!
12:21 that's a damn good picture lol
Techies is love. Techies is life.
I remember how in dota inside the wc3 engine, techies stun lasted 11 seconds. God i'm imagining pyrion's reaction to that and i'm laughing so hard.
"To play us out, what does that mean?"
So much rage, I LOVE IT DAMMIT KEEP IT ON
Best guide yet
EYYY THE GUIDES ARE BACK!
We never did get a death prophet video :(
I hate fighting her too...
Techies players likely get off from the end-song here. All those delicious tears to consider.
On carry's neck a Goblin yoke.
brilliant Pyrion, just brilliant.
techies are my main and this is surprisingly accurate also thanks for telling me i could directly stack mines XD
I'm sorry Dad...i'll go sit in the corner. :'(
His Barbarian has only 10 Strength....
as a techies player this makes me so happy :techies:
I love playing techies, no shame
SPlCYCHEEZ
-Shame? why!?
-Everypony loves a good fireworks
-Even more if it gives you money
I saw the premiere on the stream live.
Awesome . Plz more guides .
this was a good day
Pro-tip: use the terror your sign generates to keep entire teams from pushing any one lane, while you *actually* mine another.
Please make guides more often PFlax, it's been too long!
techies are actually my favorite hero(s).
