How Snapfire and Techies perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Snapfire and Techies win 49.77% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 13,429 matches.
Walking into an area controlled by Snapfire and Techies can be a headache. They create layers of threat that are difficult to navigate. Techies can place Proximity Mines to control key chokepoints or defend towers, while Snapfire adds another layer of long-range damage with Mortimer Kisses to discourage anyone from trying to de-mine. Offensively, a Techies jumping in with Blast Off! provides a perfect silence and setup for Snapfire to land her Scatterblast or ultimate. Firesnap Cookie can then be used to help a committed Techies retreat to safety after his initiation.
This pairing is strongest when they get to play defensively and set up around an objective. Pushing high ground against their combined siege defense is a real challenge and requires careful coordination and vision. The primary weakness is that both heroes can be vulnerable if caught out of position and jumped on. Teams with strong gap-closers or coordinated smoke ganks can often get on top of Snapfire and Techies before they can establish their defensive nest. This forces them to play together, as a lone Snapfire or Techies is a much easier target to pick off.
