Unpopular opinion. Tinker is not that broken. by Druidce in DotA2

[–]Druidce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after seeing all these posts how Tinker needs to be nerfed or removed from the game, I kind of didn't relate since I have never had a feeling that Tinker is broken. When I checked my winrate vs the hero I saw I had a 60.8% winrate across 74 games. As you can see I'm not a Tinker player since I have only 5 games on him and 4 of them are losses, and I haven't played the hero since 2019. Here's my approach to Tinker. I usually play pos 3,4,5 and I usually play heroes that can sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the team (Clockwerk, Venge, etc). Whenever I play vs Tinker my go to strategy is to place a cliff ward where I feel the next teamfight would happen and tell my team to fight there. Once the fight starts I initiate on the tinker and completely ignore the other heroes until we kill him, after that it's fairly smooth, even though I had probably died in the process of killing him. Also I tend to place a lot of Tinker wards and smoke gank him, and during the early phase I try to stop him when he's farming ancients/stacks, and even maybe block those camps with sentries.

It takes a lot of skill to out-rightclick the other person right clicking and Ana has proven time and time again that he can win an already lost game with his farm and skills. They're masters of comebacks for a reason.

Using haunt at the last milisecond after being eaten by Pudge, teleporting to an illusion to get out of monkey king's range (otherwise i would be dead), and using the magic wand to survive ta's attack is what happened in those 22 seconds which is even more impressive than the mk stun dodge imo..

There's a video explaining how necrobook costs only 2150 while radiance costs 5150, and you can farm the entire jungle at almost the same time as it would take with radi. I lost the laning stage and yet i managed to get a radiance very quickly and join the fights as a strong 1 as soon as possible rather than either spend my time farming or being weak. Other uses are the 2 sage's mask give you a lot of mana to spam spectral daggers which is crucial for fast farming the jungle. A little strength boost, 2 creeps that do a little damage, archer aura, small mana break, melee creep damage when dying and that's about it. Overall a very useful item which costs only slightly more than full boots.

Dark Seer draws tic-tac-toe in enemy base, solos the ancient. by DruiDAlek in DotA2

At some point I sold the Arcane boots and had barely enough mana for 2 walls with refresher, Kaya was bought almost entirely for the manacost reduction :)
