u can:
-heal yourself (tanks), buildings, other tech mechs
-share dmg (atleast for the first 5-10mins)
So already with this 2 examples, u are able(with a bit skill...), to push your opponent (on lane) back to his tower, where he useually cant creep as well as u (so u have also a farming advantage)
-buy items, keep them or exchange them to your tank and port for -free-
-conquering cps (cause hes able to buy buildings at ruins, like a barricade)
-fake CP TP´s
(did i forgot something?)
and that for sensational 350g (!)
of course, u got a risk that he get killd, but its not compard to his cost/benefit.
how and if u can counter a tech mech, is not necessary and no good argument.
Faking CP TP's isn't possible - at least it wasn't in the last ranked games I played ; You don't see anything, and neither does your opponent, when a tech mech CP TPs
But that's intentend griffin. It's good to poke the big tanks when they try to conquer (tp on, build barrier, tp off).
He wrote something about faking CP TP, and I wrote that it's not possible. No one said anything about it being intended or not

You might consider reading the post a reply is based upon before doing your own

Either way, I can only agree with the statement that the tech mech is overpowered at the moment, especially considering its cost.
And there's an additional point about it as well: The tech mech is the cheapest active item which levels with force upgrades - the next ones are troop command and small mines, which already cost 2,5k - and those are neither able to cary weapons, nor can they do repairs, not to say that they are way slower etc.
Getting used to the Sand everywhere. At least it brings us map updates.
