    Match 4909173553 (Im on slark)
    How can I tell my friend that Techies is a sh********t for pos 5? I was about to delete dota at minute 5 staying 1x2 vs abaddon and bane, while he was putting mines + leaching my xp. Btw, we'd won

      if he is your friend he will accept consturctive criticism. i flame my buddy and he flames me but its all for the sake of getting better

        If i play duo ranked with my friends, techies would be the carry and slark Support lmao

          Why you need to ask at dota forum about it. If i were you, i'll shout to his/her face about it

          Wtf your friendship is lmao. Everytime my friend (or me) do stupid things, we just flame each other and just go like "lol fuck off" but not repeat it again

              @Desephviasco I do, but whenever I tell him this he starts to do shit like "You always blame me in things where you're not right"
              When he does double kill in sideshop, he starts to show off like "Yeah yeah I'm useless but I've done double kill, yeah what a useless support" (OFC because he puts 100k mines there)
              I hate this shit so that's why I came here

                @EE suddenly he doesn't... That's embarassing when he picks this techies and do basically nothing except jumping in creep wave (what leads to stealing 1/2 of my creeps, most of which a range ones. Also, he 95% misses opponent targets :D, so I had nothing to say but he doesn't accept any sort of criticism and advices.. )

                KUKULAMIN KA BUT THE K IS...

                  Then maybe stop playing with this goon and get better solo

                    dude, why are you so serious about party games? My fellas proceed feeding and being completely useless since on average opponents are better than them, yet im not whining or shit. Cause you know, they are my friends. If those were strangers, i would flame the shit out of them. When you play party ranked, just chill. Just realized you are russian, now it makes sense why you are such a whining *itch

                      KYS, I can't believe u have any single friend... Even in such thread people may say something about my nation..

                      tired

                        Racist dog, what's wrong with Russia? why u try to harass my nationality in this thread? If u have nothing to say just go fuск yourself

                          I mean... strategically? There shouldn't be any need to explain to someone why Techies is not a good pos 5 hero, techies is definitely a scaling hero and needs both items and xp to be useful.

                          Techies is probably most suited to a pos 3 role, but he won't be providing any frontline/aura buffs that you often expect from your pos 3 hero. This is a classic techies problem, he's hard to place on a team and his playstyle is so unique you'd optimally need everyone to alter their play around the techies on your team. But in pub DotA expecting this kind of coordination is silly, and hence techies is generally a shit hero in almost every scenario.

                          If he doesn't understand that techies is bad then your friend just lacks understanding of the game, that's just how it is. If he just wants to pick troll shit... that's a choice. You know how your friends behave, if he's a fuck-around kind of player pick fuck-around picks as well. Go techies + pudge/tiny, or just pick a highly independent safe core who can handle doing shit alone (unlike early game Slark.)

                                  This guy has no chill, I apologize in behalf of humanity

                                  Even my jokes is not meant to insult a race, just kidding, no offense.

                                  By the way Tech is a good pos 4 IMO, it only provide a ward early game is all, then he need to counter push any lane unattended and keep placing mines to set the core's perimeter in the meanwhile. Think of it as a radar

                                    Sorry, I love Russians but not those playing Dota peace.

                                      OK, dude look at yourself, creating multiple posts whining about your friend not listening to you because you care SO MUCH ABOUT MMR. PLaying in russian serveers is indeed depressing since people there see your mistake they go feed(WK is absolute one and only for rus), afk, and non-stop pinging. Sea server just trashtalks and that's it. I am truly shocked that people from Russia I meet in real life are so adorable while those playing dota 2 are such trash.

                                      I can't imagine how do you behave yourself in solo ranked if you are so intolerant to your friend. I bet you are one of those I have just described.

                                      REgarding techies what makes you think he's bad sup? YOu gotta know TpaBoMaH Blizzy and they are smh doing good. You are creating this thread as if you are top 1 player in the world and you know what is good and what is not. It's not techies problem but your friend's skill.

                                        honestly dude just look at my 2-3 party games i played with my buddy. i just fed like crazy and made stupid plays and we had good laughs. you wont be getting any improvement in party.

                                        (the 3 normal games)

                                          Techies honestly is an amazing support if done correctly. Its almost impossible to lose lane with a good techies player.

                                            Try to scold him with reasoning outside of dota. Do ur mmr higher than him? People tend to listen to someone whose mmr is much higher than them

                                            Or just stop playing with him. Based on what you described, ur friend behaviour is exactly the reason i have some irl friend that in my steam friend list but never playing together with me

                                              WEll that was the most adequate reply, so thanks. I will tell him something from your post
                                              Also worth considering that he is watching russian techies only streamer TpaBoMaH (1k+ online viewers on twitch) ((spelled as travoman)
                                              Basically every player hate him in high-mmr pubs, such guys like noone and etc. just screw him and report even he is his ally in a match
                                              But my friend adores him and still watches him though he is losestreaking, linking to how untoxic he is and what SMART mine locations he makes, thus he copy his playstyle. AND SO he go for pos 5 techies leading to my suicide, noticing that "travoman go on safelane as well"
                                              about @Sylap
                                              I wasn't actually "whining", I was asking for reasonable tutorial how to tell my friend that he makes bullshit by picking this hero (and I got it, thanks to you all). I am tolerant to my friend, he plays a lot on other good heroes, but I was just asking for a little help... If it's called "being a whining b*tch" in your society, so let it be that...
                                              I do agree 100% of russians are toxic in pubs, so do I, so do all of my non-stop dota players-friends, but at least me and my friend firstly argue and agree to differs, and we want to compromiss and win at first. Toxic whining russian people may be found on 1-3k mmr, what's possibly happening on your pub games... cause I don't know what mmr or rank are you, still such people who play dota and drink vodka at the same moment, and they act like apes and may live not only in Russia.
                                              Good luck to y'all
