How to Counter Techies

Techies relies on Proximity Mines and the Minefield Sign to punish movement through an area, with mines that True Sight cannot reveal and that trigger even on invisible units. A mine needs an enemy standing in its area for 1 second and shows itself within 500 units, so crossing quickly and clearing mines one at a time limits the damage. Mines also lower magic resistance, so spell damage protection helps early.

Counter items

  • Pipe of InsightA support item that gives allies a magic damage barrier and magic resistance.
  • Eternal ShroudStacks magic resistance from spell damage taken, offsetting the Proximity Mines debuff.
  • Blink DaggerTeleporting up to 1200 units leaves a mine area before one second of standing passes.
