Dota 2's Techies receives more tweaks just days after Primal Beast update

It wasn't long ago that we were reporting on Dota 2's Primal Beast update, which brought with it all kinds of madness. Even so, a new patch has been released just five days later that further tweaks characters and items, including more adjustments to Techies, who was subject to a significant rework in the Primal Beast update.

It's never a good sign when a character is patched again so soon, but that's what happened with Dota 2's Techies hero. Patch 7.31b sees Techies' new Sticky Bomb attack be modified already, and it now causes a slow effect on enemies caught in the attack's radius. This might seem like good news for Techies players, but it comes amidst a slew of more general changes to the cart-laden fiends.

The dynamic duo's Blast Off! ability now deals damage based on their current health when using the ability, rather than maximum health as it stood before. The overall amount of self-damage you take when using the ability has also been decreased by 15% at each level. And the cooldown of Blast Off! has been reduced, meaning that it can be used faster, but the damage it deals to enemies has likewise decreased, too.
