Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the great tips, again.

Thanks~! Yes I need to do more stacked pulls and learn how to half pull. Great suggestions.

@@royitaqi I tried to add you b4 I dont remember if you added me. Im prophylaxis the techi main. :D

@@royitaqi One thing I have learned recently is that it can be worth it to almost forego almost every item in favor of just winning lane from attrition in every way possible. Spamming tangoes / sentry / mango / health potion constantly. As a nuker or hero with kill potential (i dont play tinker so its prob diff), esp with a teammate with half a clue, you can really body people without even needing boots sometimes. Just with good positioning and doing the right things (like pulling a lot, getting every lotus, being at the wisdom rune BEFORE it spawns even to the point you can use the wisdom to pull enemy into an elaborate bait lol)

@@suntzu6122 My apologies if I didn't add you. I have been playing solo for years. Liked the freedom. :D Thanks for the invite anyways. I appreciate your kindness.

Definitely. They are crazily strong.

Why? Because I'm versatile. The goal is to win the game. There are a few aspects that I consider: 1. When my core players are strong (I have thousands of games so I can tell), I purely support them (example #1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/boTTZHWDi6l9nZY, #2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6exlH2jZdCFodk). This is because they can already create space and approach win conditions with efficiency, and me supporting them functions as a multiplier on top of their stance which is already strong. However, when core players don't appear to be strong, it's more difficult to count on them to carry the game. In such cases, me creating space have allowed them to farm and carry the game later. 2. Tinker is also slightly different than traditional support heros, who sits behind cores in case they need help. Tinker has infinite TP, so the most efficient movement pattern is "TP to a place, cast spells, TP back, refill mana, TP to a different place". -- With that said, I did support work, didn't I? 2nd most assist on team; many wards; help team in fights w/ healing, blind, shield & eb. I also created space by extending our map control and attract opponent's attention. When cores cannot take highground, I initiate to provide chaos and vision. Bottom line is that this is pubs. Any help is and should be appreciated.

@@royitaqi As long as you win the game you are right, thanks for the explanation

Yeah my win rate is about 53% at the Archon/Legend brackets. Trying to improve. I think "deciding when to step up" is a challenge. This is especially difficult when, in the lower brackets, core players' capabilities are quite inconsistent across different stages of the game (lane, farm, finish the game). One thing I have tried is to not push the side lane which is next to my carry. However, there are cases where my carry just don't appear to farm that lane at all, so I still end up having to push it when we desperately need space.

Yeah I wanted to wait out the stuns, but then was very slow and also very far away.

@@yannaing6928 yeah had to spend some rerolls to get the intended spells and items

The end of the video (after the cinematics) show the upgrades and the skill levels. I think some upgrades help (max hp, regen, dmg, cd reduction), while some others not so much (range).

At which minute:second? I'm pretty sure either I dodged it at its edge.

Yeah I hope the same. It's really fun and nice-looking and sometimes a good change of pace from regular Dota 2 games.

I liked the prevoius tinker before. With item refresh and rockets, it's more dynamic in fights (jumping everywhere) and can do a lot of direct damage to specific targets (even rockets can be "targeted" using positioning). With the patch, I have gradually learned to play the new tinker. I feel now it's more like "hide in the trees and push waves". Some opponents don't understand tinker and walk into March thinking "that's no big deal", e.g. during laning.

@@royitaqi yes as a tinker spammer (before the patch) i cant agree more

Is there any guide for more advanced (and hopefully more fun) builds?

try mine and dagger build you dont need the helix and stampede

Ah the "Agh Helix + Stampede" part makes a lot of sense. However in this case how does one kite when the Stampeded is in cooldown? I usually find it difficult to move vertically w/o Agh Swashbuckle.

​@@royitaqiPrio aghs for helix and swashbuckle.. then aghs for bounty ss to easily upgrade your items.. track with aghs gives two items when u kill rosh that drops item.

For me it seems Kez is the easiest (and most consistent). I feel his ability clears the way in front of him better than the other two. What strats did you use for Dragonus and Shen? Maybe I didn't use the correct strats on them (see my other two "almost" videos).

There is totally 7 levels. Do you see all 7 where you choose the difficulty (e.g. 5:08 of this video)? If you can see 7, and you can choose level 4 but not 5, then there is a chance that you haven't finished 4 (maybe you thought you were playing 4, but in fact you were playing level 1-3?).

I forget how to kneel, but if kneeling and Rivali's Gale use the same button, then IIRC kneeling requires a short press, while Rivali's Gale requires a long press.

your agression towards sb is complety right he is weak level 1 bringing items to pa 10/10 denying is always good when you are on lane and have nothing to do but no worries is not that big deal if you miss some

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. They all make sense to me. I appreciate it~ Will try Tag Team and snowball to evade/save. Item I probably thought (wrongly) that I will lane against Jakiro. But yeah SB 4 makes more sense.

Yeah I'm yet to get one. Will upload for sure when I get it. Will be GREAT for hitting Lynels on their back.

Yep. Shows the importance of itemization.

Haha, yes~!

auras give a debuff once used so they cant be used again for like 40 seconds. even if you have cd reduction you wont get healed by greaves if youve been healed recently

@eveeve9033. You have a great point. That IS the build I use when my cores are strong and are leading the pace of the game. Based on the game I also go Force Staff or Euls to help my cores. When they cannot lead the pace, though, the game typically requires me to push side lanes non-stop, which gives me the networth that I can transit into a core. In this game I went EB + Agh mainly for the blind, which I see as both damage and protection to my cores when needed (happens to save me, too, as the video shows). As @poodle101 mentioned, item that cannot be applied at high frequency is really not a Tinker item. I do love Holy Locket and Greaves. I found them working great with cores who tend to get into low health and might die from a cc-chain, e.g. Huskar, Weaver, Slark. Holy Locket also gives me quick replenish of mana in early/mid game if I need to push back multiple lanes.

Thanks for watching and commenting~ I appreciate it.

I'm glad it helped you~!

Yep. Kinda funny once you pointed it out.

I cannot complete this there is no choice after the dialogue when I'm wearing men's clothes

@@yogibeargrizzly5120 Maybe you haven't got this quest yet?

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I appreciate it~!

All the equipments (weapon, bow, shield) can be enhanced by this approach. However different equipment types only allow certain enhancements (e.g. only bows can have multi-shot).

Yeah bro the game came out 7 years ago and the guy uploaded a year ago, you think they would fix it after 7 years? Exactly, any glitch that worked 6-5 years ago still works, most of the ones that worked at launch still work actually

Yes

No, multishot bows and bomb fruits are better. But if you don't have these then better off running. No point in fighting.

No capes
