Techies (Squee, Spleen, Spoon) in Dota 2 7.41: win rate, pick rate, the heroes Techies counters and struggles against, and its best teammates — from recent ranked matches by Batru's AI win-prediction pipeline.
Techies is a zone-control nuker whose Proximity Mines, Sticky Bomb, and Blast Off punish positioning and deny whole areas of the map. He's strong into immobile, low-mobility heroes who can't avoid his mines: Timbersaw (58.5%), Nature's Prophet (58.3%) and Monkey King (57.9%) get blown up. Techies is countered by tanks, sustain, and detection: Spectre (45.9%) out-scales, Lifestealer (46.2%) Rages through mines, and Wraith King (46.7%) out-tanks. Draft tip: Techies is a strong area-denial and pickoff pick into squishy, low-mobility drafts; he's weaker into tanky hard-carries, sustain, and gem/detection line-ups.

Techies controls space and chunks enemies with mines — he wants a carry to snowball off the kills and zones he creates. He pairs best with hard-carries and push: Spectre (58.4%) and Wraith King (57.9%) feast on the targets his mines soften, while Lone Druid (56.9%) sieges behind his area denial. Give Techies a scaling core and his mine zones plus pickoffs strangle the enemy's map movement.
