General DiscussionHow to play tinker?

1. tp in
2. blink, soul ring, QWER, repeat
3. dont die
4. if mana < 500 tp to base

hope my guide was helpfull, thanks for reading

edit: i think you cant learn this hero by asking ppl in a forum

I think soul ring should be used right before rearm

laser (esp with aghanim) is very good vs many right click enemies

Know where creeps will meet and cut the waves before they meet so they won't anticipate your coming

hes tinker pro obviously

I think soul ring should be used right before rearm

doesnt really matter for my kind of guide

I think these are the trivial but important things to remember as a tinker player:
*when laning, laser enemy hero when he's about to last hit
*when eating a wave of creeps, cast march perpendicularly to their direction they are walking to(works well too when trying to scare chasing enemy heroes. If they don't get scared, punish them for walking into march.)
*abuse tree cover when you have dagger
*you can shift queue multiple items off a TP(dagger, dagon, scythe). Looks cool to do too.
*with regen rune, keep the buff alive by spamming rearm, keeping your manapool from going full.
*quickcast is your friend(ask ken)
*drop your mana items when regening/using soulring in base but dont forget to not mess up your inventory when youre about to reengage

Also turn autoattack off

Dont forget to build veil

And shadow blade too

Tinker is more of muscle memory, kind of like Meepo. Just practice a lot, especially with the late game key combos, where you've got about 4 active items (Hex, Dagon, TP, Dagger) + skills

^for this I suggest customizing your hotkeys in such a way smashing your keyboard can get all of your payload off. Right now I use
Q- laser
W- missile
E - active item 1
D- active item 2
F- active item 3
G(quickcast)/capslock(normal cast) -soulring/active item 4
T(normal cast) - BoT
Space(quickcast) - dagger

So you basically go spam QWE then DFG with three fingers panic smashing the keyboard

ya i agree that whole quickcasting is just a question of muscle memory

i got
QWER Skills, all on quickcast, while on tinker E should be normal
D blink (quickcast)
F and SPACE are for euls/bloodstone/forcestaff kind of items, no quickcast for self-use on doubletap
mouse 4 and 5 quickcast active items like dagon hex bloodthorn
C is my TP/BOT Slot
oh and mouse 3 for taunting

i need to improve my setting for micro and additional skills as im using 1 and 2 for spell #4 and 5 currently
