Change tinker cost to 200 gold?

[eSVau]

Player who suck as tinker will also suck with other tanks. Changing its cost or disabling it wouldn't change that.

Althend listed some penalties - especially changing tier1 strategies would suffer. Sometimes gaining an additional 200 gold (or 140g to port) is a pain in the ass.

so many guys use it and fail and cause miserable game for others especially in middle

That's true but mid tinker mostly works because of so much long-range, which wont attack his towers. And most tinkers retreat so that team can't pushed which makes creeps coming in tinker tower range.
But most players are so cheap, the wont buy port breakers or mortar or anything else which would help the team - they go for a 2nd/3rd long range even before a hull. That kind of player who wait with their stun in order to kill steal, etc. - well, thats mid nowadays - i miss the gold old times with strong team players in mid and bad average players on lane. But almost everyone got greedy and lane makes more income...

@esvau 200 is not much and it can still buy torp, electro, and i doubt u really play those tactics

It's an early adaption of the boring "no skill" porter-poison-tactic. On lane vs an average player it (might) works, but playing lane sucks anyway
