They changed it, it's why you never see Tinker anymore.

I honestly think the Eblade nerf was almost as big a reason for Tinker's disappearance.

Oh right, Dagon and Eblade also got nerfed. Either way no team wanted to pick him anymore.
What about the extra juke paths that used to be tinker hiding spots when he had blink dagger? I always feel that was also a nerf that went under the radar.

Good. It was too good anyway.
It really wasn't that big of a deal. There are still plenty of them.

the dude is nonexistent in the pro scene at its widest and most varied in hero picks ever

his pub winrate is trash and no one picks him anymore
i just peeked at your dotabuff and you hadnt played him in 3 months
hes dead jim

and below that
I took a bit of a break from the hero.
There are plenty of heroes that are good heroes that aren't picked in pro games/don't have a high winrate there.
Earth Spirit had a shitty pub winrate in 6.79

well i pulled from all the sources i could think of
pub pro and your anecdotal
any individual one can be dismissed easily but when added up together...
i dont know where else to go to convince you the hero got nerfed into the ground
Did he get nerfed? Absolutely. Is he "nerfed to be literally unplayable"? No.
Sure, this nerf prevents him from getting picked in pro games. Makes sense, I see why. To make him work the pros would have to figure out how to make him work in the current meta now since so much changed about the hero.

i mean you can go play him right now so yeah hes not literally unplayable
thought i played pretty decent here as the WK http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1129213558
Yeah, but the way you are saying it is like he is a bad hero now or something.
A similar example of this "never gets picked in pro games but is still a good hero" is Necrophos.

who is one of the top 20 heroes picked in pubs, has an excellent winrate of 57 percent
also plenty here will vouch for him not sucking
tinker doesnt have either
he is bad now
Please show me all these people that say Tinker is bad in pubs.
No, see I blinded him thinking he couldn't kill me then but he jumped after I lasered him so it purged the blind and by the time I rearmed I was dead.

Who is ready for eg.KingRaven?
Granted, he's a complete asshole, but watching him flame/rage was some of the funniest shit ever to me lol.
Nobody thinks about their builds, man. I got into a game where my team was me on Jugg, Slark, Sven, Tusk and Kunkka so all melee vs AM, pudge, Faceless, WD and TECHIES. So obviously we start off bad so I decide everyone else is probably gonna go carry and we need to clear these mines so I got a necrobook to clear mines and they act like I'm a huge idiot at the end for getting an item we desperately needed I can only assume cause it wasn't the shit in their dota guidebook. For serious, they said we lost because I got it rofl

How does matchmaking in normal mode work? Is it totally random or based on some kind of calculated skill level?
Sometimes I'm on a losing streak and ask myself if it has to do with matchmaking.

It uses a hidden mmr. Everyone has losing streaks every now and then and I learned to call it a night after two losses in a row.
Supposedly it works exactly the same as in Ranked, you just don't get to see any of the math.

It's the same thing as ranked, mmr is just not shown.
tinker is bad in pubs

If you have Dotabuff it'll record what matchmaking bracket the match was in, but it's not necessarily a good indicator of overall skill within the game because there's a huge amount of variance.
Happens to me a lot as well. God forbid you suggest someone in a team of right clickers buy a diffusal against an aghs omni.
