How to own with Tiny in 7 key points


Tiny is one of the strongest gankers in the game, feared for his one-shot killing combo. I will give you some strategy essentials to play this hero at his best!
  1. Laning: Tiny loves the solo mid or alternatively the solo long lane. He has low armour(easy to get harassed) so you need to stay back and get levels as soon as possible. Try get some lasthits when it's safe to do so and get mana boots or boots of speed + bottle very fast.
  2. Rune control: Tiny loves runes especially if you went bottle. Try to get as many runes as possible!
  3. Ganking: Now it's time to pwn some noobs! Choose the right target like an isolated low hp hero. Look at the scoreboard it may be a good idea to target a hero that died already once or twice at this stage so you get your dagger fast! Just use combo(Avalanche then Toss) on them coming from behind then heal and repeat :)
  4. Teamfights: Now it's time to shine with the dagger you farmed! Let the tank go in and as soon as the 1st spell is casted jump on a lonely support and BAM! Kill go back and wait your spells to be off cooldown again and then jump with dagger and BAM again!
  5. Items:
    Core: Boots of Speed > Bottle (can be skipped if not mid) > Mana Boots > Dagger
    Luxury: Shiva/Assault Cuirass / Arghanim / Hearth of Tarrasque
  6. Skills: Max stun (Avalanche) and Toss. Then get ultimate and Craggy Exterior.
  7. Lategame: Tiny is at his best during early and mid but lategame can still do his job. At this point one shot killing is hard because everyone got items and levels so their hp is higher.. Chase fleeing supports with your dagger + stun!!
