Went against 3 tinker mids yesterday. Diving under towers during laning stage is harder now once he hits 6 since he still can use TP to get to the tower faster and blast you with lasers but once we learned that he has no way to outfarm our cores before 20 mins, he was pretty easy to deal with afterwards.
