Well, it's not really a bug. The AI don't know how to play with the Tinker, because we didn't do anything like that. The reason is, all the other tanks are using their skills on their own, without us saying how to do it (with some exceptions), so the normal Wc3-AI is doing most of the work regarding skill-usage.
The problem is, that this AI doesn't know, how to handle a Tinker properly, because his hero-concept is kinda unique, compared to normal heroes.
Because of all that, the BT-AI won't play with the Tinker, so there are two possibilties for an Only-Tinker-Mode: the AI won't do anything or the AI will buy other tanks it can handle. You already know what we've decided to do.
The only solution for that would be to write an AI for the Tinker. But I don't think that the outcome of this would be satisfying (additionally this would be quite hard to do).
