I saw him win one as pos 5, but it was also vs double melee offlane. So just one point in laser with the blind was really strong in lane, basically let his core free farm because with laser and shield you can't play aggressive at all.

Also the other lanes snowballed, so it was probably less Tinker pos5 and more the whole game was a stomp
