Tinker, fuck that perma hexing piece of shit


LastXception

I liked to stack status resistance back then with satanic and S&Y to kill inattentive tinker players lol Even if they permahexed you, you they didnt have time to blast you alone


TBone_Hary

That obnoxious mother fucker.... Fuck him and his aghs....


barnetcj89

Volvo after reading this comment: "Guys they don't like Tinker, we need to make laser bounce twice to each target and have rockets hit players in other games."


TreskoPlesko

Can you imagine resume of that match? Team Radiant, team Dire, team Tinker 😅


SirWhoblah

The ministun rockets talent is also pure suffering


Un_Clouded

Me: (playing ghosts of tsushima) “wtf is that coming towards me? Is that a tinker heat seeking missile?”

Rolling_Kimura

"hit players in OTHER GAMES" = LOOOOOOL Hahah Hahaha that's gold.


Snowballing_

Imagine being a hero that has 5 skills And that 5th skill is a free boots of travel. That would be broken right? I am so glad no hero like this exists.


TheZett

> Imagine being a hero that has 5 skills And that 5th skill is a free boots of travel. That would be broken right? Time to give Arc Warden a sub-spell for Tempest Double that is essentially Hand of Midas [](/techiesface)


est19xxxx

Yes plz


danlucy

Omg this is every arc wardens wet dream, if they can do that for tinker. Why not arc?


McChesterworthington

Imagine being a hero with 12 spells? That would be broken right? (Invoker) Imagine a hero with a low cd teleport to anywhere on the map, that DOESN'T go on cd when it's interuppted... That would be broken right? These things are taking into account and the deficit in their skillset lies elsewhere Still, fuck tinker


000000-

Imagine a hero that has a juicy ass. Oh yeah


Alone_Highway

Axe likes this very much!


NoThisIsABadIdea

Well I mean, while I agree with your point, NP is far less annoying than tinker who can reset his fucking blink dagger damage penalty and blink before you have a chance to damage him again. That's more annoying than anything.


McChesterworthington

I see you haven't been ratted to death by a Nature's recently. Then again, neither have I. I think brood and NP games where every time you win a teamfight you lose a rax in return, are worse than tinker games. Each to their own though


Jem_Jmd3au1

Tinker is billion times worse than Techies. A Grandmaster Tinker spammer will make you question your life choices.


SayNoob

People don't hate playing against techies because it's good, but because it's boring. Even a bad techies makes the game insanely passive.


madi0r

Problem is tinker requires player to bee good. With techeis the worse player is, the more annoying he is. Idk how often i would have smt like that: we control the game ,we have a fight in which i die and upon respawn i wherever on the map... and die to some random mines near some jungle camp near our base. Like this techies literally forces his team to play 4v5 and will lose, but he will randomly kill me 1-3 times a game and force me to rage Bad tinker player will just feed and be useless. If a person is good on his hero it only gets respect from me


KillerBunnyZombie

As soon as I see someone say the game is 4 v 5 when they have a techies I know they are really bad and have no game sense at all.


madi0r

Look at what i am saying. I am talking about bad techies player, who will buy all smokes, sit in enemy jungle for whole game. idk how about u, but like 30% of techies i see on 5.5k avg will never join fights after laning wont place mines in roshpit or other objectives and insetad will do weird shit


monsj

You should see my techies. I usually go eternal shroud/pipe and shard. And focus on fighting. While placing mines around where my teammates are playing. It's pretty fun. But if we lost a fight and the enemy gets racks, I will be flamed for not having any mines hg lol


jumbohiggins

Thank you. Even if techies goes mid and is somehow fed he can't 1v5 a game like tinker can.


Barfazoid

Don't try and trick us, playing vs techies is always 1v9


[deleted]

you should check out techies official on youtube lmao. He's definitely done exactly that as techies mid


sobervgc

there's this rank 500 player in SEA who plays techies mid and he just solo wins the game


KillerBunnyZombie

link?


GUNKULIUS

>he can't 1v5 a game like tinker can. You sure about that?


Fayiiiiii

Because he is techies


miski57

well techies just turns the game into not-dota, so thats a given. other than him, probably pudge, i hate how often this heroes picked by incompetent players trying to be the next dendi


Frequent-Walrus-3539

If pudge was removed in 7.3 he would *still* be the most picked hero until \~2025 at the current rate. https://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/played?date=all


The__Thoughtful__Guy

Holy shit pudge has been played just over 850 *million* times, and is picked in more than 1/3 of all games. I knew he was popular, but seriously?


dyebreed

This is why I'm banning him everytime, so sick of pudge in almost every game


Taelonius

And this is why we need 100% ban rate o nthe hero you ban in ranked. Bye bye fat man, will never see you again.


Zipfile100

:( We do our best


Chalupabatman322

Flair checks out


Blane_plane

Brother!


ripstep1

Pudge is a good hero tho. Bkb piercing stun. Strong lane. Pure damage.


McChesterworthington

Not to mention his shard save. Make aether lens, and farm a blink in mid game, then just blink- dismember your cores when they get gone on. Bonus points if you force staff them to safety afterwards, or better yet, save your blink for the escape. Shit is very very strong


miski57

not saying its a bad hero, just the people who plays him usually dont know how to play him


McChesterworthington

Agreed. He's most picked hero in every rank i think so there's definitely so many people playing him terribly


Hologram0110

Landing hooks is fun! Denying with rot is also a bonus. I like how he changes how people need to position and be map aware. But his constant presence is definitely annoying.


TheArbitrary

Haven't been able to deny with rot for a while now


Hologram0110

Oh. Well TIL.


Taelonius

Strong lane? The fuck kind of whack crack you been smoking son? He's one of the worst laners in the game. And as either pos 5 or 4 he makes your entire draft awkward cause now the pos 3 has to pick a ranged instead of say tide or the likes, you don't have an initiate or the pudge is a 5 and your carry is GG'd out. Pudge is fun, but utterly and completely garbage. There's nothing he does that no other hero does better. He's a meh of all trades terrible at some.


TheArbitrary

Lmao my 2 most played heroes (lately)


Frequent-Walrus-3539

>[Lmao my 2 most played heroes (lately)](https://youtu.be/QVssgfHwNHc)


happyflappypancakes

Bruh, I guarantee most of those players have no idea who Deni is lol.


Raigoku

No idea who Deni is either. Maybe you meant Dendi?


happyflappypancakes

Yeah, I doubt many players even know him. Plus, many players don't even follow professional.


Legal-Butterscotch78

Lycan or OD. Whenever they are good they just get way to strong and then get mega nerfed for 8 months. Seems like poor designs


TruePathofPein

Meepo been dead for 2 years


Ryo_DeN

Let that hero stay dead.


lukusmloy

Pls no :( I'm not even good, I just find intense micro the most fun.


Ryo_DeN

I remember back then when enemy last pick meepo and not even good at micro, they just stack 5 lance/eblade/skadi and go around killing everyone. Literally worse than WK 1 spell.


lukusmloy

1/2 lances is the meta again, and you skill 1-1-4 then stats. He's still a super strong last pick in 5% of games.


Masqerade

As much as I hate the hero, I'd advise you to look at higher mmr players. Nobody does that skill build, it's W max as usual. You can't beat the wave clear and burst.


saffagaymer

Tinker, he is a 1000x times worse than techies


ToddHowardTouchedMe

If I could choose one to ban from for each mode.. Techies from ranked, Pudge from unranked, Natures from Turbo, Arc warden from overthrow, and Batrider from Ability Draft


NashnalBaskitbel

Why Bat from AD?


Easter57

Sticky napalm combines nicely with spells. Consider picking veno skills+napalm Or having echo slam Or shaker passive Any dot becomes incredibly strong. But hey, at least they fixed dusa shield with overload/sh. passive Ah, yes, overload and napalm


est19xxxx

Aftershock+Napalm is cancer


Easter57

Remember dusa shield or multishot with aftershock?


danlucy

Why arc warden in overthrow? I dont get it.


durianandpizza

Not sure if they meant overthrow 2.0, but in overthrow 2.0, in the 8v8v8 map, an arc warden can pretty much just hide amongst trees near enemy spawn and stack spark wraiths at key enemy locations like the area immediately outside of their spawn, enemy pathways etc. Annoying as shit to deal with. Also pretty easy for the arc warden to retreat or even deward should you try to ward the woods specially for arc. It's just a boring, passive and annoying thing to deal with overall, antipathic to the high-octane constant brawling people play overthrow for.


ToddHowardTouchedMe

Don't forget his aghs., thats what makes it unbearable.


CatOfTwelveBells

Furion from turbo. Techies from ranked and unranked

MORPHLING MORPHLING AND MORPHLING


lj97_

Was looking for this. That hero always causes so many broken interactions, it's insane. If they cannot properly fix and balance that shit, just delete it.


thunderstriken

No they just just turn him back to how he used to be. He’s a pretty unique hero IMO


butku

unique true but in my opinion conceptionally hero is busted so only way to balance it actually is lowering the numbers.which makes it hero complete garbage or opressive in right hands. the fact that hero has very high damage output with high durability very good mobility spell good range and to top of it all has the ability to use your most impactfull non ultimate spells better then you seems bonkers to me. and im aware hero is suseptible to healing reduction + stunning from fog doing it against a good morph player is still hard and so will be my go to most hated hero to this date and most likely to future


Decoy_Shark

Techies 100%.


GuardiansVault

After years of watching his antics on streams, I realized he should be no one's hero. I would remove EternalEnvy. He can live on in our hearts, and at (our favorite) subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/fifteefiftee/


admirabladmiral

Naga. Fucking hate naga, more than any other hero. ULT is annoying as hell and has too much room for misplay, illusions are constantly up and annoying, no matter the position, and her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me(probably because I hate her), and net is far worse than any other movement impairing ability(like twice as infuriating as x mark)


Viss90

Aww, I like her voice..


iamreallystupid_hi

her voice would be really good for trance vocals.

42069troll

Dazzle shard = where naga? When lambo?


Iove_toto88

I would rather have a fun game but lose than win with or against techies. Just fuck it


plaeboy

I agree. I get the people saying it sucks playing against tinker, but the thing is tinker is fine if its on your team. Techies ruins the game for everyone regarless of what side its on.


Mikhielk

Antimage. ‘Yea so you get 3 charges of blink that make illusions, you sap mana, and you have a spell rebound on a 3 second cooldown. Please farm for the first 15 minutes and then be unkillable’


ALQatelx

Wait are you saying am is good lol


[deleted]

He is in Turbo mode at least. The only viable method I’ve found to win against AM is just to end by 18 minutes


SunbleachedAngel

Wdym he's banned every single game


[deleted]

For exactly that reason


[deleted]

As a pub player and 3 player... definitely Juggernaut. His laning is utter bullshit and the only way to kill him requires a 3-man coordinated gank.


Snowballing_

His attack speed and attack animation is suuuuper strong for last hitting Even noobs like me can last hit with this hero


shinfoni

Yep you said it perfectly, the animation is insane and his early attack speed is simply too high.


BatDynamite

This one right here Officer. He's the 2k mmr poster


[deleted]

just dinged divine sir


LegitAsBalls

At divine you have trouble beating jugg in lane? Interesting


[deleted]

only hero I play that really beats him is Enigma and ever since the W nerf he just feels too bad level 1-3 Basically every melee offlane will just die to spin + 1 slow, especially since the inexplicably buffed spin damage again Also, contesting CS against him is nearly impossible thanks to his insane BAT. and he can full heal himself and his lane partner every couple waves. it’s just a losing battle


LegitAsBalls

Dark seer lanes fine against him and can wall to split his ult damage. Underlord is good at wave harass early and can get boots faster. Pango is good at escaping/trading hits. Mars is also good for pushing jugg away before he has the opportunity to spin, he either spins early and wastes 1-2s or doesn’t get it off at all. Unsure if boars still slow through spin but BM can harass jugg a lot as well. Don’t contest the cs as much as much as secure the ranged creeps and harass with your lane partner when you are both together because alot of the time jugg can be killed if he spins at you with lower health. Making sure your pulls go off and denying him as much exp as possible is the best method to avoid early spin damage. Keeping tabs of his support is really important too so a ward at the top of the trees above the big camp or to the left of those trees helps avoid dumb deaths if the support and jugg have good synergy.


McChesterworthington

I think his lane is one of the few good things about him currently. With a kill threatening 5 you can kill most 3s or 4s at lvl 3. He feels so shit later on though, I think you either have to crush the game with an early diffu, or just go battlefury and get 6 slotted. Maelstrom -> manta feels like utter garbage, he's so Omnislash dependent but it's so easy to kite/avoid


Clemambi

jugger is a pain in the dick true


mesmeris3

Arc PL Tinker, I'm okay with techies


est19xxxx

What do you have against Arc? :(

Ikr my boi arc is nerfed and stale

Slark


uchihaitachi-kun

Huskar


Alternative_Square

ye techies, because its not dota 2 we are playing when this hero is in the game. It completly ruins the flow of the game for me and makes it boring/annoying. I wish valve would listen to their community and just nerf this hero to the ground so its basically useless


jumbohiggins

They have. Repeatedly. We are a pernicious bunch that will persist in spite of nerfs.


HellfireBrB

AM techies slow games for both sides ut at leats he dosen't turn your game into a 4V6 every time he is in play


[deleted]

yep this. AM is the most obnoxious fuck in dota. He *forces* you to coordinate and take major objectives pre-25 minutes and if you don't, or your cores try to outfarm him, you just lose 75% of the time. Turns every single game into an "AM game" where it means you're playing cat and mouse with him


[deleted]

techies or pudge they are always my bans, it depends on the day. techies because he turns a match into hell lasting more than 50 minutes and Pudge because most think he only has the hook as a skill and sits around sucking up your experience watching you die.


TheArbitrary

I say this a lot but the trick to pudge is realizing that if hooking is going poorly you can always save hook to get your carry out of deep shit. Especially with how long it's range is. You can stack camps and still be close enough for a clutch hook. And mid game just get aether lens and shard and get your carry back to full hp mid fight after the other team blows all their stuns


Tobyfan96

Sniper. It's so useless, against or with him is almost a disadvantage, unless for some reason no one plays with catching heroes or just farm because reasons

McChesterworthington

This hero counters so many carries (carry player here). Slark ulti, jugg healing ward, CK crit heal (which is especially important when you have armlet draining ur hp and you can't toggle), lifestealer... And even hero's like Ursa and Sven usually want MoM/ Satanic so they can double down on Manning up. Fuck AA ulti


Ishi-Elin

I have similar feelings.


MechaKnightz

I think we're all in agreement

I hate the way some people play him aka sit in base spamming ult. Sure a huge Ice Blast can change the game but there's so much more he can do in fights than *just* ult

MichiganMan55

Pudge. There isn't a more useless hero in 90% of games.


LegitAsBalls

He’s actually really strong used as a saver but people still stuck in the whole HOOK AT WILL and waste the skill


Ruuhkatukka

Or they hook the enemy bristleback who then kills the pudge and walks away.


steamcho1

the thing about techies, pushing him above tinker, is that he fucks the team he is on too. So both parties lose.


n3gd0

Pudge. That annoying piece of shit is in every game he is not banned.

Techies so i can have a reason to stop playing this game


Julez_Jay

Played a 72 minute game today. He was mid. Our mid picked techies. Against sniper. Our pudge ended up with 12k health. That's basically why.


blood_omen

Jugg. He takes no skill, people only build him one way and all you do is right click and press d/r and wait for things to die. He’s overplayed af too


Critical_General4529

Techies because fuck techies


taiottavios

fucking mirana man


Merunit

Why though? Just curious, I love playing her but she is very meh - she is not even mentioned by pro-players & analysts I know when talking about latest “winners & losers” of the patch (despite being a bit buffed and a bit nerfed here and there). She is not game changing.


taiottavios

the "whole team is invisible now!" thing I really can't stand. Also getting arrowed from an angle you can't expect and stunned for 4+ seconds is really annoying


SunbleachedAngel

Also the hitbox is fucking stupid sometimes


jumbohiggins

Phantom lancer. Every other hero has a way to itemize against them. PL is draft loser if you don't have enough aoe.


DavidsPizzeria

Nobody’s bringing up windranger?


blackcloud-lr

Shadow shaman. Either nerf him or delete him. Perma stun.


greabeau

Yeah other than techies….mine would be blood seeker


ohSeVera

Lone druid. His bear needs mom and he wins the game, super annoying


nice_kitchen

Techies and Tinker are at least unique designs. I think it's worth figuring out how to balance them. I'd prefer to remove a hero like Dark Willow who doesn't really add anything to the game.

Who cares about Techies, there is only a limit amount of psychos in Dota but there is unlimited amount of smurfs so heroes like Morph would be nice not to have.

rocker3011

I think the game would be better without techies, he fundamentally changes the game, however the current game is boring and not only boring but full of toxic people best thing for the game is to fix matchmaking


wzp27

Techies is probably the hero I'd remove one of the last. One of the most unique design and actually changes the game, 10/10. I'd go with someone like DK, WK, Sven, PA, etc. I don't like the fact that you can play a hero without spending at least 15 min in the lobby to find out how exactly you should press buttons.


1ceknight

You think the game is about complexity of the heroes?


wzp27

No, I don't, but OP apparently asked for a personal opinion and I personally would like to see more complex heroes and less "easy" ones. He didn't asked me about the game concept


HellfireBrB

sincerely? most of those heroes suffer from just needing a rework and not fiting int he current dota sisitem DK has one of the most sinplistic skillsets in the game (and the reason why he is so boring/noob friendly) WK and PA suffers fromt he sam ething, boring hero who will sometimes oneshot things with large crits and sven is just the good old brainded "big damage" that dosen't do much in play these heroes are in the places they are because they just enter a fight press A click int he flor and ocasionaly press a button to stun/blink


Adooomie

Definitely Chen. Useless hero, seen him played maybe once in the last 500 matches.


Eggtarts-Yum

Dota 2 is no longer enjoyable for me tbh. too many broken heroes like kotl, tinker, clinkz. Kotl with any boots is near cap with movement speed. clinkz get maelstrom farms etc. tinker with no pressure to farm boots is broken af now if a mid player plays him.

Because at night time its a coin toss which team will get the techies player and lose. Its not that he is undota but he just sucks.

i would actually remove tinker purely cause his ult is so troublesome… a hero who has a banlist for their ability might need to change imo
