i know we stopped discussing it many pages ago but vlads is by far best on pl even with a bad start cos you can farm jungle lane ancients so efficiently that it helps you catch up very quickly.
that might only be on radiant though i haven't seen pl played well on dire in ages

Wait. Why are people complaining about tinker? He has a horrible professional and public win rate.

Sure win rates are not everything, but when tinker has one of the lowest professional win rates in 6.81 (17th lowest), heck Team Tinker barely picks Tinker nowadays.

Are we WoTC now? Nerfing alternative strategies because they are 'unfun' and 'non-interactive'?

Tinker is cancer in pubs dude.

Competitively nobody cares but in pubs dear god that hero

Please don't cite dotabuff winrates for that hero either, when 90% of games are played so deep in the trench you can't even find them, and by players who clearly can't press enough buttons to play wraith king much less tinker. His "most common" build on dotabuff is 4-4-0-0 like jesus fuck.

I think the discussion about nerfing blink moved into nerfing tinker with blink.

I think just a flat blink nerf would be fine and see how tinker does in the wild world of the new meta. I mean, if LC is added to captain's mode, she could make his life a living hell.

Also, I am with Snow-man, we can't cite games played by people who can't press buttons, which is critical for winning at dota.

Well duel is one of the longest forms of crowd control in the game. So unlike most stuns, he won't be able to zip away instantly after since the entire time he is being nailed with auto attacks, putting blink on cool down. It also has a really low cast point, so its harder for him to blink away from it than most other forms of CC that have a cast point and then travel time.

To be honest, I don't think limiting tinker through mana cost would have done anything. He gives no fucks about 75 mana.

I don't know what to do with tinker beyond change some of his abilities so they do different damage(aka, march to magic so BKB/pipe does something) and maybe nerf laser so people can auto attack him.

Rearm no longer works on Blink.

There ya go.

The sad part is blink would still be mandatory on tinker.

Yup. He'd just be really, really bad.

Utterly irrelevant points. Batrider is 99x better vs tinker. Maybe more. This isn't storm who "zips" away its a hero with blink dagger, an item which unlike all the heroes you hilariously wrongly describe as "0/low cast point" actually has 0 cast point. LC's grade A useless vs tinker.

This is like saying that Earth Spirit shouldn't have been nerfed because his his pub winrate was low.

Hint: it wasn't, not among players who knew what the fuck they were doing.

Blademail LC is pretty solid against Tinker. Some catch-out potential and then punishes the hero later in the game. Not as good as Doom or whatever, but hey.

if pubs were more coordinated we would just start buliding 3 blademails against pub tinkers.

“now“, as if it didnt happen before. IceFrog has nerfed several heroes that didnt have gamebreaking winrates, or had aspects that were simply annoying, like Brood, Ursa, PL, Barathum... He may mess with Tinker, he may not, but it doesnt have to be exclusivelly because he is too strong or too weak.

People have this absurd tendency of thinking of nothing but balance, but patches in Dota have been less about balance and more about changing the game for ages. Go back to almost any old hero rework and you can find a change that was the result of a hero being “not fun“ or “not very interactive“.

Overpower used to not use his cast point (similar to how his ult works atm).

Ursa nerfs were quite a long time ago, before Dota 2 I think.

He got other buffs beyond that.

I would say he's more viable than he was pre "nerf"

Ursa? of course. Thats just the only nerf of relevance that occured in dota 2 times so I'm pointing it out.

There were two nerf patches, the one with the adition of the cast point to overpower, and the one where they added the cast point to overpower, at a point where he was messing a lot with it.

With the reduced cast time of earthshock as a trade-off i'd still argue that ursa is in a better spot now, but that might just be me.
Earthshock used to have an annoying cast time compared to what it is now.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!
