And why has the tinker been removed from all intern games? Because it was too strong???
Don't say now because of the pilot to get easy access to the Frost and above, because you know how to still get your tank.

well... a tinker also has the option to play exploder... as he has a teleport skill... this is part of the reasons why he's been removed from intern games.

I don't mind about tinker in private game.
Tinker don't need any buff. This tank is really good during the 15 first minute.
I just mind about moron playing tinker as shit, claiming mid for themself, asking other to go lane because they can't creep, feeding as shit, not defending cp.... and many other reasons they think it s legitimate by the fact they play tinker.
Getting tinker as random is unbalanced
I am so good that I don't even need to type -rc because I never die !

Prog Wrote:(3) is a different thing, still i'd argue against it. Random means having a disadvantage of not being able to choose the tank and get an advantage in additional gold. Tinker in the set of possible random tanks would result in a situation in where you have no disadvantage, but still the advantage, which gives everyone randoming tinker a possible game breaking advantage just because of luck, which is a bad thing in general for competitive play. That's what equiem meant by "totally unbalanced" I guess.
Yepp, this is what I was referring to. I still (well, its not that long ago) think that random tinker is way too good. If you're changing random to include it you might aswell call random something like Wheel of Fortune and write out "Jackpot!" every time someone rolls tinker.
And I'm saying this as someone that is always going random tank, no exceptions.
Prog Wrote:I guess the hidden reason is that those players like to play direct player vs player situations in which both fight each other on similar terms.[..]
I sorta agree with this but the main reason is the extremly common mentality of tinker players being very selfish and just playing as they wish claiming mid.
Honestly, I would rather kick a tinker that is blocking the area around Bob's Guns then someone being afk feeding like a madman.

What are you trying to say by quoting me? Do you see me aproving the ban of tinker/exploder/etc in any way in my last post? It's only an explanation.
