With 7.07, Techies now has the potential to seriously be one of the hardest carries in the game... RELIABLY. The exp talent at level 10 lets you rocket your ass up to level 25 and start raping people like no other. You can use your mines and such with no tradeoff except aghanims and manfight and out-damage almost any hard carry in the game. Clear waves with your q, midas everything and eat every tome in your quest to become a god. Even before your ascention you do decent right click damage and have godlike gank potential with shadowblade-blast-off, Great pushing with your mines, and all the while you can still plant mines like a good little Techies. Be warned, though: Certain characters in lane can screw you over entirely, so be careful.
