Later on he gets to build “fun” items like Overwhelming Blink and Shiva's Guard and gets to ignore most of his kit, while providing self-vision. But between his own Defense Matrix and potential Pavise on a teammate, going through this barrier is close to impossible, hence Tinker can jump around with impunity. Technically, Tinker should be weaker now, because Blink Dagger gets broken, rather than going on cooldown, when taking damage. It mostly comes down to players utilizing Defense Matrix well. Usually playing him well requires a great deal of expertise, but he is a lot more forgiving in the current patch. Tinker is stupidly overpowered when played well. TinkerĪnother cheesy hero who received some nerfs in the last patch, but remains very strong in a greedier meta. Depending on the matchup you switch BKB and Halberd in the build order and you should be in a good position in 90%+ of your games. He is still an Armlet of Mordiggian into Heaven's Halberd into Black King Bar hero. There is no secret to playing the hero either. This is what meta demands from the midlane characters: the ability to fight well from minute 15 onwards. He is as high tempo as he used to be, he can dominate his lane against most heroes and he can scale very well. The easy adaptation to that was “press BKB before jumping in” and we feel like it solved most of the hero’s problems. Because he no longer has full Spell immunity during Life Break, it is possible to queue stuns and disables for when Huskar arrives at his target, resulting in him being out of position and unable to fight. There were a lot of complaints about the hero at the start of the patch. The most popular and successful heroes in the role are very similar to the last patch, so instead of going over the usual suspects once again, we will highlight the unexpected, underpicked and, frankly, uninvited newcomers to the role.
