Tinker Counter/IO in General Discussion

    I'm fairly new to Dota and was wondering which "hero" is the best to counter tinker. From my perspective I see myself picking Death Prophet to lane vs Tinker. Or would a pick like Sky Mage be the way to go. Also wondering if Storm Spirit is "overpowered" because the first game I played with him went a lot better than what I've heard this game usually goes.

    Edit: In what situations is IO a good pick?

                    the only timing for io is before tinker gets his dagger, io+ 1 cant reloc gank anyone with dagger and you cant survive in fights tinker can just burst you down

                      actually im wrong if io does the blink/eul/(fs?) abuse into 1.8k range tether tinker would be a sad man

                        tether doesn't stun anymore.

                        jo~

                          ya it doesnt

                          jo~

                            but im saying since io would be super far away tinker wont burst him down

                            me, government hooker

                              meepo with boots of travel is th eonly answer bro

                                Blink bounty hunter really good counter I must say. Slardar too

                                  stuns, hex'es , fast initiators like storm can counter tinker... but when tinker is mad you cant counter him sorry ggwp

                                    Pugna plant dat ward in the middle of the fight "hidden ofc" and look at enemy tinker eather dying or leaving the teamfight ... unless he gets bkb but still forcing him to get bkb is good

                                    Androgynous

                                      so the io doesnt die to tinker if he has 5k of items. that's hardly a counter to him though.

                                        ? no i meant tether into shift q/fast click eul or blink allows you to do a 1.8k range tether (bug) and im not sure if fs works too.

                                        i didnt mean to say io counters tinker i meant its annoying for tinker since tinker supposed to counter wisp +1s by instantly bursting him down in fights just like other wisp counters.
