    @arin indeed

      Slark should be able to kill tinker late game without much of an issue with abyssal. maybe the problem was your carry wasnt getting the jump on him? slark perhaps should have bought a blink to get the stun off immediately. any second hero guarantees the kill. if you lost to it its simply because you got outplayed. the hero is not op at all right now. Tinker is a carry. he's extremely weak early game before he has the mana to be so mobile. he scales into the late game but can be countered by ganks in the early game or simply coordinated lockdown in the late game. much like any other carry.

        this topic gives me cancer

          sigh...how can one ever get the jump on tinker and if they did get a blink dagger how will they ever be able to kill a tinker that is even a bit tanky, please explain. Tinker has a team too you know, any decent support will die trying to defend his tinker. I never said tinker shouldnt be a carry, i said hard carries shouldnt be weaker than him with farm. And that is what i dont get why should any hard carry need a 'second hero' to kill a non hard carry hero while the non hard carry hero(tinker) can easily kill them by himself if he gets the jump.

          ..:..:..

            but you also have a team

            Von Darkmoor

              it's normal for them to be totally fucked at early game, eventually even in mid game, but it's not normal to be fucked super hard in lategame aswell)

              This but stong/imba instead of "fucked"

              Is Windranger, still waitiing for that latch revert

              Final Boss

                who's strong/imba at early and mid game? the agi carries?

                frodo

                  "Tinker has a team too you know, any decent support will die trying to defend his tinker."
                  And the Bs and Slark you mentioned didnt have supports with Linkens/Lotus orb or even Eul/Glimmer? Then thats your team's fault and not Tinker being "OP".

                      You are talking about these heroes in isolated situations. Sure, a tinker has an advantage 1v1 but if he blink hexes then there should be somebody else to back them up. Tinker is strong 1v1. It takes him a lot of time to kill someone, time that someone else could go and kill him. Tinker is balanced.

                      ooooooooooo

                                Pick spectre/spirit breaker - shit on tinker.

                                      i dont know what kind of passive tinkers you're playing against that dont kill sniper

                                      Final Boss

                                        Also storm needs to be really careful with his mana when he's laning mid, you can only use q 4-5 times without a bottle and if storm gets too low on mana tinker can use that to his advantage and either kill/harass him out of lane.

                                        Final Boss

                                          yes he is a hard counter to tinker once he gets his items due to tinker not being able to hex him, but that is the problem, only int heroes can counter int heroes in the late game which is the supposed to be the time of agi heroes.

                                          lm ao

                                            I hate playing with a Tinker, especially as the pos1 carry

                                                ok i hope this shit gets nerfed as soon as possible because it's annoying as hell

                                                  but if u want answer just buy orchid on every fkin hero even hard carrys. tinker cant do shit against bkb and orchid/hex/both.

                                                    Would putting 3 stars on carry for invoker and tinker shut the OP up?

                                                    In the right scenario any hero can solo any hero

                                                    Is it fair that nyx can solo tinker at all stages of the game?

                                                            for orchid, tinker can buy euls, he already buys blink, he will just blink out as soon as he comes down.

                                                              I've had enough of int carries being too strong in the late game for 3 patches.

                                                                  Final Boss

                                                                          Akasha

                                                                                  i think he just salty cuz got outplayed by decent tinker.

A 320 damage targeted pure damage nuke that also blinds you for 4.5s plus a 350 magic damage nuke with a huge aoe is the very defintion of balanced hero, but alchemist seriously needs nerf.
