Updates are few and far between in Dota 2, especially if they’re big since Ice Frog loves to cook for a while before releasing any massive changes into the wild. Naturally, when a hero is particularly impacted, it can make or break their performance, as Tinker has proved.
Tinker was nerfed into the ground this May in Patch 7.36 with numerous changes to his core kit and how he generally functions. His win rate at the time fell sharply to 33 percent and his overall state remained relatively the same over the course of the summer. While the Dota 2 hero did manage to climb back to about a 44 percent average win rate, he was never the same. But that all changed with Patch 7.37 at the end of July.
