They shoudnt fix this, it makes the hero a bit better

it is way to OP with stasis trap...

thats like a free chronosphere.

Lol who would have thought some glory for tusk would come from techies.

Ok with stasis i agree, still tusk and techies are so MEH heroes that personally i wouldnt care if they dont fix this.

I mean it's pretty much an unstoppable kill ball of doom, seems abusable for sure

remote mites?

remote mines do not work with this combo

how come?

you could lay a ton of mines near an enemy tower, wait for enemy creeps to come then tusk can snowball on them, blowing up the tower instantly

I just tried it with random people in pubs, holy shit, it is way to OP.

Tonks fucked it up for me :( still was hilarious as fuck will do again even if it's a loss

Did it finally http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/884339178

Patched.

I had two people try this in a pub and they were both completely clueless, techies wouldn't stack mines close enough together for tusk to get a good snowball off with them, even when the other team spent like a solid 5 minutes trying to push high ground from the same lane, and tusk didn't have the sense to stand close enough to what mines did get stacked to pick them up. then both of them raged at me for trying to explain how to pull off the combo. http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/884350071

I also got paired with the same alch the next game who insta locked him again and managed to have no hero damage either game.

Already fixed

this combo also work with suicide from techies right?
gonna be sick for initiating -_-

Lame patched. Also of note having blood seeker with techies seems like a solid idea.

Saw you had one in your lineup that match Havoc that help your effectiveness?

It helped him more than it helped me, all you need to do is drop one mine and BS gets site on them.

@Candice it still works well for suicide but you need to pick your target
