If you are not too greedy it should be fine.
Where is exactly the abuse?
It costs you 350 gold, when people kill it, they get at least 150 gold, the same as the bounty of a tank. So if u kill it, u basically set an handicap of 350+150 - 500 gold to ur opponent.
To counter it u can use:
- troop (400 gold but guess what? It costs less than what u make the opponent lose)
- Aoe spell - rocket: it always hit and if use it well u can beat it. It happens really often. And u can coordinate with a mate to do it, killing a meck worth more than 2 kills.
Anyway, I think that most people complaining about meck are people who doesn't know how to counter it.
I don't see how scaling the evasion hurts your ability to repair your own tank with it. A techmech with its given evasion can't be countered if the opponent has 2. The evasion must be rescaled to prevent abuse, even if that includes "use" it isn't a battle instrument. It's used to repair buildings. I'd rather it not heal tanks at all.
Last time I checked techmechs also get diminished amounts of real damage. Catapult can't even kill one at level 2, neither can a single missle. So those are generally both out of the question when we are discussing a solo lane. And it's just abuse. That's that.
I just read the tutorial on tech mechs. It mentions that the techmech can be killed by only more expensive tanks and remarks that it is only viable early game -- and this is blatant abuse because you full well know that it is next to impossible to kill a techmech if someone is using it smartly in the early game.
