You scared me, but the Tinker buff is pretty minor. Lots to like though, Warlock and Morphling toned down a bit, Dark Willow and PL getting some needed help, and buffs for some heroes I thought were pretty strong already (Lich, Clockwerk, CK, Bristleback).
Most stuff really inconsequential tweaks though.
-
Haven't seen any Tinker yet, but I may try him soon.
Also holy shit I just looked at my Dotabuff and I already have 101 games of Oracle, my 5th most played hero now
-
Just to off-handedly mention two heroes I don't really like in one post
-
Not my fault you're misguided and don't like Oracle. Tinker I can reasonably understand I suppose.
-
The occasional Oracle game I can manage, but Tinker is one of those heroes it is annoying to play both with and against. When playing against him there are lasers, missiles, and marches everywhere. If there is a Tinker on my team all he does is steal all the farm and TP home whenever there is a fight.
-
I've vastly adjusted my Tinker play in recent months - TPing TO fights rather than away from them.
Fighting is definitely the way to play him atm I think
-
While I dislike Tinker I'd much rather see it than Anti-Mage in a game currently. A Tinker draft needs to be a little bit figured out though, as the Tinker is neither a hero that can necessarily fight on a predicted timer (needs some items), nor such a hard carry that one can just make space for it at any cost.

7.22d out now: https://www.dota2.com/patches/7.22d
A bit of a mixed bag, buffs for some heroes which I consider to be quite strong at least in pub play. Spirit Breaker nerf. But overall pretty small tweaks.
-
RIP Spirit Breaker. Was another pretty long run.

More Spirit Breaker and Dark Willow nerfs ready: http://www.dota2.com/patches/7.22f
Losing streak set to continue.
Otoh tiny NP buff and a real Tusk buff. Thinking of picking the latter up again (gotten a tiny bit of movement speed and armor, but those are pretty good support stats).
-
WK nerfs and a ck buff
-
They messed up and accidentally gave Dark Seer a minor buff instead of nerf.
