Best Answer

Yes. Anything that walk on those mines will make them blow up. In dota (TFT version) in techies games I used to grab either neutral creeps or pick heroes that could summon units and send them to patrol places where techies usually put their mines.

Notes: Always check the secret shop from the side lanes with a creep before going in first. Otherwise techies will have a good time.

A great combo is to wait for the enemy to walk into a Stasis Trap stacked on top of a Proximity Mine, then Blast Off! on top of them and place another Proximity Mine right as the first one explodes. Techies can stand right on top of Proximity Mines to make it harder for the enemies to click on it.
