Why is Abyssal Blade not picked up on late-game Tinker? With level three Rearm the Tinker can keep anyone stunned until he runs out of mana. This even goes through Black King Bar. Why do people not replace their Scythe of Vyse with this item late game, since it offers better lockdown (no movement, unlike hex) and goes through Magic Immunity?

Dagon and Ethereal Blade

Dagon and Ethereal Blade are good on heroes who like burst damage and have magic damage to benefit from the Ethereal Blade pickup. That said, an Ethereal Blade by it self is good enough in most cases. Dagon is a very hero specific pickup despite it looking like a generic item.

Should i rush Boots of Travel  with one Null Talisman + Tango at early, skipping Bottle and Soul Ring?
Usually results in 8 mins Boots of Travel instead of 10-12 mins

I was just wondering what's the most efficient way (mana wise) of farming free lane / jungle when Tinker has the following items

• Boots of Travel
• Bottle
• Soul Ring

Do I Soul Ring > March of the Machines > Rearm > Bottle > Repeat
Or March of the Machines > Rearm > Soul Ring > Bottle > Repeat

Initial thoughts

• Pugna's ward - destroys Tinker if ignored, but getting in a situation to actually use it in a 5v5 teamfight is hard
• Silences. But this won't matter if you don't have initiation/can't see him because he's in the trees
• The only viable way I see to play against a hero with ridiculous turtle, amazing comeback potential, flash farming and damage... is to actually shut him down early
• Vision heroes. Beastmaster, maybe even Night Stalker with Aghanim's Scepter.
• Quick blink initator
• Avoid pubs for a month/play Captain's Draft

Tinker who relies heavily on his assortment of nukes for ganking and pushing. While he does have rather low stat gain, he is able to reset the cd on his abilities, which in conjunction with Boots of Travel gives Tinker global mobility rivaled only by Nature's Prophet, which combined with his two high damage nukes

 How do I play carry with a tinker on my team?

When I'm playing a hard carry, I do great in my farm and last hits until Tinker finishes his Boots of Travel's, and for the rest of the game I find myself starved for farm since Tinker is pushing out every lane, and when there are farmable creeps, the rest of the team jumps in with me trying to get some farm for themselves too. Is there anything I can say to theTinker , or do better to find farmable places?

Tinker is a ranged intelligence hero. He is a pusher,nuker,ganker. He can carry his team with right items too

Imagine a hero who can be everywhere on the map, can push non stop, can defend his towers anytime, can disable & nuke people to death, can help his allies to heal them & get their items by using his Boots of Travel. He can do everything in the game there are no limits
