So the other guy looks like he isn't posting anything today so I figured I would.

We already have a few posts on changing up their current spells and the need for a new aghs as well as a new W probably. But today I want to focus on their talents.

It is my opinion that techies talents while not terrible are too generic and favor the bet it all on blast off play style. I find this to be limiting to the hero and would prefer some talents that allowed for different play styles to be more viable.

level 10: -3 prox mine cooldown or 20% magic resist. This seems to be about a 50/50 on which one to take. The magic resist helps not damage you when using blast off as well as being generally good. But the prox mines in theory let you get more mines down. I would like to see the -3 second prox change to maybe an extra prox charge or more damage on them.

Level 15: +200 blast off dmg or +3 mana regen. The dmg has a 77% pick rate but the mana regen has a 60% win rate. In either case it's either a generic talent or further adding damage to blast off. I would like to see some variation like maybe placed mines give some mana while in the area or something more unique to techies.

Level 20: 15s blast off cd or 125 sticky bomb latch distance. The blast off cooldown has an 84% pick rate and again is further doubling down on blast off as your only viable build path. I really don't like the sticky bomb spell so anything here would be good I think, having a faster moving projectile or increasing the range would be really nice.

Level 25: 0.8 second mine activation delay or +252 damage. Mine delay has a 75% pick rate and the winrate seems to be about the same. I actually like both of these but wish the mine activation delay was like 15 or 20 so you could feasibly get it while being a support.
