Goblin Techies

The Goblin Techies or Goblin Sappers are as of yet unreleased heroes.

Having little direct combat ability, the Goblin Techies have an unorthodox, if effective, method of dealing damage to the enemy team in the form of powerful laid explosive mines and stasis traps that enable other heroes to set up a gank or retreat. Their mines, set across key points of the map -and even less conventional locations- are an effective method of denying area and guarranteeing damage if enemies dare to initiate.

They have an even more bizarre 'skill' in the form of their Suicide Squad, Attack! which causes them to violently explode and die but deal massive damage in a large area of effect.

The unique mechanics of the mines mean that the Goblin Techies utilise mechanics not used by any other hero, including preemptive mine concaves and such strong area denial that they actively play a large role in securing the area controlled by friendly heroes.

The Goblin Techies have statistics aligned to those of semi-carries, but largely play a passive, defensive role throughout the game. Their unique utility slowly is lost throughout the latter part of the game, but as with other supports their long cooldown skill Suicide Squad can still be quite effective.

Abilities

Land Mines Q E Ability Affects Damage Target Point Enemies Composite Plants an invisible mine that explodes when an enemy is near. The explosion deals less damage if the target is farther away. There is a max of 20 mines placed at a time. Range: 100 Radius: 200 Full damage radius/ 500 Half damage radius Duration: Until destroyed Full Damage: 300/400/500/600 Half Damage: 150/200/250/300 25/20/15/10 125/150/175/205

Notes: If destroyed by attacks the mines will still explode. When a 21st mine is placed the oldest mine will explode. Mines can be set over other mines. It costs 2500/3000/3500/4100 mana to place all the 20 mines. If mines are placed right when they are available, it takes 475/380/285/190 seconds to place all the 20 mines. Hypothetically. if an enemy triggers all 20 mines at the same time, a huge 6000/8000/10000/12000 damage will be dealt.

Stasis Trap W T Ability Affects Target Point Enemies Plants an invisible Stasis Trap that stuns nearby enemy units when detonated. Range: 150 Radius: 200 Activation radius/ 450 Stun radius Stun Duration: 3/4/5/6 Ward Duration: 270/300/330/360 20/16/13/10 80/110/140/160

Notes: It takes 2 seconds for a triggered Stasis Trap to activate. Stasis Traps destroy all other Stasis Traps in their area of effect when they activate. Theoretically, you can have 13/18/25/36 stasis traps at the same time before one expires (if you cast one straight away every time it's available.)

Suicide Squad, Attack! E C Ability Affects Damage Target Unit Enemies Composite Sacrifice yourself for the greater good. Deals massive area of effect damage. Range: 100 Radius: 200 Full Damage radius/ 500 Half Damage radius Full Damage: 650/850/1150/1550 Half Damage: 350/400/450/500 180/170/160/150 100/125/150/175

Notes: Techies' death time is halved when he uses this ability. Using this ability counts as a suicide, which does not reward normal gold or experience to the enemy team. Destroys trees in its area. Gives Techies XP for kills he gets with it

Remote Mines R R Ability Affects Damage Target Point Enemies Magical Plants an invisible mine that will only activate when triggered. Range: 500 (700*) Radius: 400/410/425 (410/425/425*) Duration: 480 seconds Damage: 300/450/600 (450/600/750*) 10 200/240/300 Increase placement range, explosion radius and damage.

Notes: If destroyed by attacks the mines will still explode. Can be improved by Aghanim's Scepter (* shows the improved values). Adds Focused Detonate to your ability bar. Each Remote Mine lasts 8 minutes while the spell's cooldown is 10 seconds, theoretically allowing you to have 48 remote mines at the same time before one explodes. (If you cast one straight away every 10 seconds.) Hypothetically. You can blow up all the 48 mines at the same time, a huge 14400/21600/28800 (Scepter 21600/2880/36000) damage will be dealt.

Focused Detonate D F Ability Target Point Detonates all remote mines in 700 radius around target area. Range: Global Radius: 700 1
