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 if u win or lose | ||

It improves his initation with blink so much, especially since you can pre-cast overpower. Not to mention with the new overpower with cast-time you can use it to cast enrage WITHOUT using its cast time(By casting overpower->enrage you instantly cast enrage without using its casttime). It's pretty neat and leaves ursa using his entire combo slightly faster in the end infact. | ||

No, since I was saying how nerfing heroes not used at the competitive level isnt something new, old examples are actually better. | ||

Earthshock used to have an annoying cast time compared to what it is now. I really like where the hero is now. Earthshock is great, he can Rosh and stuff, and you can manmode to hell and back. He's actually a really solid mid who farms ridiculously well with only a little bottlecrow and can actually just run down the enemy mid if they step out of position even once. | ||

Not as good as Doom or whatever, but hey. Yeah, she is really good locking down squirrelly heroes. Sure she isn't doom or bat rides, but those two heroes have like one job in all of dota, so I don't think she would do it better than them. | ||

Or at least, its never a good reason because it just makes the game dull, flat and boring. No, since IceFrog clearly cares about pubs when balancing. There is one this thread will like. Remember when Tree was completelly abscent on pro games, had one of the highest winrates in pubs and IF removed the damage on the ult? | ||

Meepo also received a huge nerf when his net stopped affecting BKB targets, and he wasnt exactly dominating competitive games or pubs. Even Techies was nerfed one patch. And now meepo is one of the most broken non-picked heroes this patch. On September 04 2014 01:03 SKC wrote: No, since IceFrog clearly cares about pubs when balancing.

He also completely changed how living armor works and lowered the cd for his ult drastically. | ||
