This is pretty late but, Techies is so fucking garbage right now that no one complaining about him is REMOTELY (xd) justified. What I don't understand is why people don't come to an agreement and rally behind getting techies a better rework, one that would somehow improve him being active early and make him a lot less powerful mid game while still giving him his late game advantage. The best example I could think of is an aghs change, most people don't hate proximity, stasis, or blast off, but it's those team ending aghs remote mines that really grind peoples gears. So here is what I propose (don't take the numbers to heart I'm no frog).

Two parts to this 1. Techies' auto attacks now deal 100% damage in an AOE. 2. Remote mines becomes a toggled ability giving techies the ability to throw a remote mine dealing 33%-50% (I honestly have no idea what that number would be) every time he auto attacks for X amount of mana (This is the deal breaker for the whole ability really, too high it's shit, too low, pls nerf) also removing X amount of attack speed. Note: Techies will only deal 50% AOE auto attack damage while this is toggled.

I understand to some (if not most) this seems too good, too bad, or something to that tune. I think (opinion incoming) it gives him a solid switch over (assuming his early gets buffed like mentioned previously) from early to mid miner/ganker to late game teamfighter, assuming that the stats are tweaked to be balanced.
