How do you even nerf the hero without completely making it useless ? There's actually no way. Look at the history of Tinker. He gets popular, completely takes over the scene, and then gets an item removed from Rearm and vanishes entirely. There was a brief period where not everyone knew how to Tink that he was just on the edge of being good, but sadly he's just too damn tough to balance. Probably we're going to see Blink removed from Rearm. Maybe some people will use him after that, but I doubt it. | ||

Shitty finals are the standard for all competitions, not the exception. List to me some other DOTA2 finals as shitty as the TI4 ones. The only one that comes to mind is the G-1 that Alliance stomped, which was due to China just not advancing in their meta past TI2. | ||

It might work, but wow that would be obnoxious and hard to balance. Worse, it would kind of mess with the idea of the hero: you're supposed to use lots of spells and items! It would definitely nerf him, and it's got a lot of nuance to the level of nerfing, but I'm not sure it's the way to go. | ||

How about I just throw a boarder net and list all finals for every sport in creation? Amazing finals are not the norm. Even the greatest world series in the world, when the Redsox won for the first time in nearly 100 years, had shitty finals, like 4-0(but amazing play offs, so it was all ok). You watch finals for the potential of amazing games, accepting that they are not the standard. | ||

Who cares if baseball has shit finals, if the DOTA2 standard is excellent finals? Jesus stop being so dumb. | ||

Jesus stop being so dumb. Ok, lets break this down. Are all games of dota excellent to watch? No. Are all sets of dota amazing series? No. Are finals just sets of games in a series? Yes. Therefore, all finals cannot be excellent. It is impossible. No patch can change that because people are involved and one team can just go full retard and do stupid shit. You can't patch for people cracking under the pressure, which happens all the time. | ||

Hmmm how about increment on mana for every repeated rearm of an item that is used multiple times ? and has some cooldown timer on the increment of mana or a duration of how long the incremented mana lasts ? rofl i actually just thrown that idea cause i have no other solution that i can think off .. lets just leave that to icefrog lol and removing item usage is a no-no that's why the hero is unique | ||

Shitty finals are the standard for all competitions, not the exception. This is true. I, however, wouldn't mind a patch that nerfed tinker, void, DP, Lycan, and did some smaller nerfs for razor SM and a few others. Tinker: either nerf his early game, his ancient farming, or make EB unrefreshable. | ||

If the norm for DOTA2 finals is that they are good, then shitty finals are not the norm. How can I make this any fucking clearer? | ||

Not sure if that was the tournament name or that was D2CL but it happened. Oh it was hilarious C9 fucked up with the draft during the last game and drafted the legendary tinker support for AUI rofl | ||

Deal with it. | ||

I didn't get the memo. I've seen plenty that have been totally lack luster. I think the last exciting one I watched is like MLG. | ||

Tinker can't refresh BKB, Necro, HotD, Arcane (which doesn't make sense IMO), Midas, Refresher (likewise), or Linken's. The last one might be WC3 mechanics, but I'm not certain. | ||
