Lane counter to tinker in General Discussion

    What are good mid-lane counters to tinker? I mean heroes who can really shut him down. And I don't want to discuss pudge; I don't play the fat fuck.

      just be a dick and play zeus

        If as playing zues, and the tinker maxes march of the machines first and u cant go near the creeps too many times, is it better to use spells to get last hits or to save mana to harrass tinker?

          sky beats tinker, he is able to dominate tinker before he hits 3-5 where he can motm to lane trade
          viper wins with max skin
          storm is an awful counter to tinker in terms of laning phase he gets owned when the creeps meet

            I'd say OD is pretty good. Dodge missiles, sap his damage.

                ^ i dont see how puck ns nyx invoker is able to shut down tinker, ofc they are good catch for late part of laning phase and overall game but if the hero cannot exert enough pressure before tinker gets sr bottle it shouldnt qualify as a "lane counter"

                  ^ yh and I'm not sure abt storm either. Why shud tinker be vulnerable to the storm remnant nuke? He can just stay far back and avoid it. I've killed tinkers with storm a lot, but i'm at normal skill. They're mostly noob tinker players. Also, against heroes who can dodge his missiles, he wont level missiles anyway. it's the march that'll help him win his lane.

                    Zeus works. I often use Zeus to pwn tinker. The March robots can be dodged just be walking around it. So you can still farm and harass by timing your walks.

                        This thread is a couple of months old. But just pick heroes who use spells to last hit.
