but but why? lower 50% cd , mana cost, and damage seems nothing change.

only techies can countered by quill blade and grant 10 golds might be a nerf for him la...

and maybe mines does not explode when get destroyed...

but imagine unlimited land mines all over the map if people does not buy gem....  (or gank gem holder early...)

as i said, gank lor. that nerf really encourage gank early.
also buying a lot of ward for that.

remember land mines cd is halved, so also which means you can separate the cluster not too far or too close to make them hard to decide where to put sentry ward.

well this meta really encourage back you put mines at weird places... and need teammate skill recoordinate enemies for this.

also quilling blade cost 1 slot. in my mmr range later mid game no one carry quill blade one.

the amount of time need to hit mines also longer liao for your stacks. so when support hitting it, go gank XD

and with this update i think techies can make mines instead of kill 1 shot, become make heroes nearly die and go back regen. or let other heroes finish off heroes... techies become somewhat support already XD

my mmr range is either techies too noob or people counter techies well. and i need win 1 more mmr match to climb 3.6k. :v

but reborn sometimes really got 2k mmr player but with lable 3.5k mmr points    keep dying same pattern for 3 times still don't know change. some support heroes keep huge amount of money and buying nothing, and squishy like fark in early game. 

or sometimes when retreat, never cover teammate who walk slower (when i carry gem i bought in early game, without tp or something can escape because i no farm and all gold put on gem.)

i actually hates techies pick in my team because most of the time can counter easily, never see techies win a game.

for me, that range of item buying is dead, sometimes i can see my team lack of healing item and people in role 3 or 4 never buy that when early-mid game war... then we all die from magic nuke. keep dying for few times, opposite carry finish farming d , buy meka too late already 

not to mention techies is useless when in war. or push against heroes...
