Techies is picked in about 12–13% of matches in every bracket and wins 50.7% / 50.9% / 51.6%. Sticky Bomb sticks to an enemy and explodes, Reactive Tazer speeds up an ally and disarms attackers, Blast Off! throws Techies into the enemy for heavy area damage, Proximity Mines wait invisibly, and M.A.D. leaves a final charge when he dies. His team gains more XP in 53.1% of games between minutes 15 and 35, and he wins 56.6% of games under 25 minutes, 51.8% at 25–50 and 49% past 50.
Countered by Templar AssassinThe lane is about even: Templar Assassin's team gains more XP in 48.1% of games before minute 15.
Techies deals damage in a few big hits: a Sticky Bomb, a Blast Off!, a mine. Refraction gives Templar Assassin a barrier and a limited number of damage instances she avoids, so each of those big blasts uses up only one. Meld hides her until she strikes for bonus damage, and Psi Blades hits the enemies behind her target, so Techies can't hide behind his allies.
Templar Assassin is weak in this patch on her own (45.8% / 45.7% / 45.9%), and against Techies she wins 48.4% / 48.9% / 45.7% (Very High / High / Normal). She doesn't win most games against him, but she wins more often than she usually does. Her team gains more XP in 48.2% of games at 15–35 minutes and 50.2% after, and she wins 47.1% of 25–50 minute games (6,524 games) and 47.6% past 50 (1,735 games). The edge is +6.57 in Very High, +8.23 in High and +2.79 in Normal.
Best teammate: EnchantressThe pair starts behind: their team gains more XP in 44% of games before minute 15.
Enchant dispels and slows an enemy hero, and Little Friends roots a target while every nearby creep attacks it, so enemies stay where Techies' Proximity Mines and Sticky Bomb can reach them. Nature's Attendants heals Techies after a Blast Off!, which costs him health. Sproink lets Enchantress leap away from divers. Their XP-gain share is 49.3% between minutes 15 and 35.
The pair wins 53.1% of 25–50 minute games (1,570 games) but only 46.2% past 50 (457 games); their XP-gain share is 47.4% after minute 35. The advantage is +8.64 in Very High, +7.69 in High and +4.19 in Normal. The pair wins 53.4% / 52.1% / 50.6% (Very High / High / Normal), with Enchantress normally at 48.4% / 47.3% / 46.9%. They are a rare pair, so this comes from 2,074 games.
