Tips and Tricks
Tinker is a very frail hero who, despite his mobility, can be easily killed if caught and disabled.
Tinker’s mobility items like Blink Dagger and Boots of Travel help him collect runes, so pay attention to Bounty Runes or any runes that spawn in the river.
Tinker is best played in the mid lane, as his skill set allows him to take on most other mids reliably and the farm and early levels allow him to become active much more quickly. He can nuke down and harass the opposing mid and push his lane at will with his abilities, allowing for good rune control.
Consider using Glyph of Fortification to prevent lane creeps from dying, so Tinker can finish channeling Boots of Travel.
Despite his mobility, Tinker is an extremely weak hero who can be easily killed if discovered and rendered helpless.
Pay attention to Bounty Runes or any runes that spawn in the river because Tinker uses mobility gear like the Blink Dagger and Boots of Travel to gather runes.
With his skill set enabling him to take on the majority of other mids reliably and his early levels and farm enabling him to become active much more rapidly, Tinker is best utilized in the mid lane. He can push his lane at will with his abilities, nuke down and harass the opposing mid, and maintain good rune control.
To ensure Tinker can finish channeling Boots of Travel, take into account utilizing Glyph of Fortification to stop lane creeps from dying.
