tinker was balanced until they increased the amount of gold you get early, if you don't gank him at all he can have bots + blink at ~10 minutes. Even if you invest a lot to gank tinker non-stop he will have the two items at 20 minutes at the latest.

Personally i would like if they change rearm, right now most people keep it at lvl 1 because the time doesn't make a big difference other than fights when you have big items anyways. If i was icefraud i would change the time it takes to rearm at lower levels to something like 10 - 5 - 1, only to hurt his farm speed early but not to nerf his endgame. I think that the hero would be fine if he wouldn't farm so fast.

When did BoT's change from 2200 to 2000? Is a revert too much?

Low mmr pub will probably still pick it. See naga/PL farming radiance at 40 min.

I know and I suspected as much. Its just when you first see the ability it seems to do damage over an AOE. Learning how march works is one of the many "Oh your kidding me, really?" moments in Dota.

There was a WC3 spell like that, far from groundbreaking. Dota has several abilities that were far more complicated to create.

Beastmaster had that Stampede spell where a bunch of bulls ran forward and exploded on impact. If anything it's crazier than the Dota version.

I'm pretty sure they used this as the basis of tinker's spell

It's a combo of Beastmaster ult and the thingie that summons the hut that spawns the suicide clockwerks.

I dont mind blink being rearmable, but they could make the 3 sec CD on blink after being hit unrearmable. That would be a simple and effective nerf

It's exactly the Beastmaster ult, just uses the clockwork units for graphic. The only diference is that BMs ult was channeling, so it uses a dummy unit to channel for a specific duration.

That was probally another modded Stampede. It was a fairly common spell to see in custom maps, since it's just a base spell that looks kinda cool.

no I'm pretty sure it is a bug.
in dota 1 it doesn't refresh because it was technically a different item when the blink was on cd after taking damage.

they just didn't fix it/implement it the same way when they ported it over and now they're backtracking to make it intended in dota 1 as well

It was changed to parity in the last Dota 1 patch, therefore it is not bugged.

At this point it's getting silly to call version differences bugs. Most things are so minor Valve probally doesn't care and will never "fix", and the bigger ones just get ported to Dota 1 or changed completelly. Might as well call them bugs in Dota 1, since that's where you should expect it to be changed.

Well I said "technically" because I wasn't really gonna stand on it's definition as a bug. However, I didn't remember that particular patchnote so basically if they revert that in both games I think he'd be closer to balanced iunno.

You could just make it easier to interrupt the channel on rearm. Make it so it gets broken by forcestaff and other things that move people.

There are tons of options without nerfing Laser-Lad into the ground.

Yeah, i knew what you were saying. But even "technically" it can't be called a bug anymore.

but the official stance is that dota 1 mechanics is the true intention
I mean if they wanted to fix the rearm thing/blink damage thing in dota 1 they could've done it like 10 years ago, but they didn't.

I'm not really sure why they're changing it retroactively.
