Worst hero of patch 7.41, losing 62% of matches in Dota 2

Tinker became the worst hero in Dota 2 after patch 7.41, losing more than 60% of matches after the changes he received.

This is shown by data from DotaBuff.

After patch 7.41, Tinker lost 9.63% of his winrate. Even before the update the hero wasn’t showing strong results in pubs, but now his winrate is only 38.53%.

In other words, the hero wins only about 4 out of 10 games in matchmaking. Most likely, the reason for such a drop is the rework of the hero.

The hero received a new ability Deploy Turrets, and also got increased base health regen and some other stats. This ability replaced Defense Matrix in patch 7.41.

Deploy Turrets allows to place a structure of three automatic turrets, which can’t be controlled directly. They deal damage to enemies in the impact area and knock them back, even affecting Tinker himself. After being deployed, the turrets automatically fire rockets at nearby enemies and creeps.

Developers also nerfed the cooldown of Rearm and adjusted the balance of Warp Flare. In addition, Laser no longer bounces with Aghanims Scepter, while March of the Machines now can heal allies if Aghanims Scepter is purchased.
