Tiny, the Stone Giant



Introduction:
It is my first guide about my favourite hero tiny. I must note that i am not a competetive player myself but i regularly play with players who are also
i have watched a lot of replays with tiny ( except playing him myself a lot ).
I will try to give a better insight of stone giant gameplay.

Hero role, pros and cons
  • * Ganker
    * Ganker ..
    * Initiator ( semi )
    * Semicarry or Support
As you can see he is quite flexible hero who mainly ganks
Semicarry or support?
Logic of actuall game dictates your role. For example
if you have a team without any real carry - farm as much as you can ( in the breaks between ganks of course ) tiny is very good at farming. On the other hand if you have a team with hardcarry and maybe one or two semicarries you
shouldnt farm too much except early game when you need to get your core ASAP. Note : i have never seen or played tiny as hardcore support - warbitch.
Support in that case means imo buying cheaper support stuff instead of farming excessively.

Pros and cons:

  • * Extremely versatile fun hero
    * Lot of amazing moves
    * Instagibing heroes
    * Naturally tanky especially late



    * Big mana problems early
    * Very vulnerable to physical harrasment early - 0 armour
    * Overall imo he is a bit subpar hero to crixalis
    * Toss is buggy ( will be explained later )
