Techies: Ranged, position 5 (hard support), position 4 (soft support), Nuker, Disabler. In patch 7.41f the hero has a 50.9% win rate in pubs and a 14.8% pick rate.
For the Techies, battle is a matter of mischief. Giggling while they lob sticky bombs around the battlefield, their hidden explosive mines, disarming zaps, and reckless blast-off attacks are enough to leave most enemies dead. Or at least enraged. Often both.

Lobs a Sticky Bomb towards the target area. If it lands next to an enemy hero, the bomb will stick to it, slowing its movement speed. After a few seconds the bomb will explode, dealing damage in an area around the detonation and applying a secondary slow for 3 seconds.
Pros max it by level 15
Techies trigger an electric charge on the target ally, giving them bonus movement speed for a short period of time. Enemies attacking the target take damage and are temporarily disarmed and get a Basic Dispel.At the end of the effect or if detonated early with the sub-ability, the charge explodes, disarming all enemies within the radius and dealing damage.
Pros max it by level 7
Techies hurtle themselves into the enemy's midst, detonating charges upon impact which deal massive area of effect damage and stun enemies. Upon landing, the assault deals Techies non-lethal damage equal to a percentage of their current health.
Pros max it by level 10
Techies gain a percentage of their mana pool as bonus mana regeneration.When Techies die, they leave behind a barrel that explodes after 1.5s, damaging enemies in an area around it. Damage is based on Techies' max mana.
