IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Look through the changelog. The last thing to him that hasn't been a buff is re-adding a cast time to Overpower, and that was in 2012.

I mean, it may have been a good example, but it's better to use contemporary nerfs.

Plus the longer duration of swipes, the change of it to a non-uam, etc.
The blink change was HUGE for ursa too.

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 if u win or lose

I mean ursa almost casts earthshock twice as fast now, it's really not something to just ignore.
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.
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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

IIRC didn't that make level 1 solo rosh relatively simple to do? I never got to test that.

Want another one? Sniper was exclusively nerfed in 6.65. Sniper was never OP. 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.

Didn't we long ago accept that pub win rates are not a reason to change a game back in the era of WoL in SC2? 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?

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

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with that patch. He received a shitload of buffs since then. Just the Aghs addition changed the hero completelly.

Meepo has always been broken. Just hardly anyone ever played/plays him properly. :3

I'm still in awe he has a reduced respawn time.

Most of the time it works to feed even faster. Respawn faster = feed faster
