But I don't think Inno invented any of the builds he uses though. It's true that once he starts using a build literally every ladder Terran copies him but that's because Inno is basically just the gold standard of Terran builds, not the original inventor.
Though it must be said that Inno can be a lot more unpredictable than people like to give him credit for. His planning is excellent and he does well in series with lots of prep time. It's in-game on-the-fly sort of stuff that he struggles with.

Who is the inventor? The first player who tries a build on ladder? On a televised game? In a private teamhouse game? Hard to define, pointless to argue.
Whoever popularises a build - that's what matters more, and that's what Inno does well.
Inventor or innovator - call it whatever you want.
