Who is pretty annoyed at the tinkers in mid? When they get the towers up, those towers usually gets 65-85% of all creep kills, and gives the tinker more income than the second mid tank player. In 20 minutes you get around 10000 gold if you haven't bought a single weapon or item expect for the starting weapon. However the other mid players can perhaps barely afford a heavy tank by then.
Tinkers are income stealers, and their pro at it. If there are 2-3 tinkers in mid, they pretty much steals from each other, and often being more than 1 tinker on a team is very bad, but in many games being only 1 tinker seems to make that tinker player one of the stronger players when he retire from tower defense.

Advantage of tinker strategy
- They are good at holding the line
- It's hard to bring down towers alone
- They tend to creep very well when they get 3 or more towers
- You can afford weapons and better tanks at about same speed or slightly faster as lane players
- They might be important hard hitters later after retiring
Disadvantage of tinker strategy
- They tend to steal the creep income from other players, thus slowing their development
- When the towers fail to stand at first 10 minutes, the tinker becomes the weakest player
- Towers isn't mobile, enemy might circle around it
- You experience gain rate is usually lower than your teammates
- Your teammates doesn't like you
