WHY IT COUNTERS TINKER
Burns his mana
Tinker is fragile against carries like Anti-Mage, and Mana Break burns away his mana pool while dealing bonus physical damage.
Huge Mana Void
Tinker's massive mana pool makes Mana Void deal a large amount of damage.
Catches him in the trees
Blink lets Anti-Mage wait out of sight for a split pushing Tinker or chase him into the trees, and Counterspell reflects his spells back at him.
2 Visage Support · Nuker · Durable

WHY IT COUNTERS TINKER
Familiars interrupt Rearm
Tinker is fragile and relies on channeling Rearm. The Familiars deal heavy physical damage and chain Stone Form stuns to interrupt him and burst him.
Tanks and returns his damage
Gravekeeper's Cloak tanks Tinker's nukes, and his AoE damage like March of the Machines quickly charges Soul Assumption for a huge nuke back.
Controls the tempo
Familiars scout, control runes and take towers very fast, forcing Tinker to keep defending and leaving him open to ganks.
3 Nyx Assassin Disabler · Nuker · Initiator

WHY IT COUNTERS TINKER
Stuns before he reacts
Impale stops Tinker from blinding Nyx Assassin or fighting back, and gives Nyx's allies time to catch up to him.
Hunts him in the trees
Vendetta lets Nyx reach Tinker in the trees or wait in his hiding spots, and Mind Flare deals more damage to intelligence heroes like him.
Stuns him through March
Nyx Assassin can stun Tinker at any time by walking into March of the Machines with Spiked Carapace.
