Concise Tiny Guide

No Pictures , No Illustration

Hi , I’ve recently been playing a lot of tiny and I was thinking of sharing my knowledge .
Please note that there are no illustrations or pictures in this guide . The guide is purely word-based ( Because I don’t have time to do all those pictures stuff )
I’m not gonna explain the reason for everything I choose . Too much to type . Figure it out yourself . Generally all these should work right .
This is a concise guide . I don’t explain everything . I need to study . But this should work well most of the time . It will be good for you guys looking for a guide that goes straight to the point on what you should do instead of grandmother stories of why you should do this and that .
Don’t criticize on my English . I’m ASIAN ! Thanks .
Basically there are two main ways to play tiny .
1) Ganker
2) Carry
Tiny’s skills are given as below :-
1) Avalanche ( AOE stun , damage is not dealt in one blow , instead its continuous during the duration of the skill – hope you can understand what I mean )
2) Toss ( Toss , duh ! )
3) Craggy Exterior ( People who attack you have a percentage of getting a short term stun )
4) Grow ( Increase tossed unit damage and base damage , reduces attack speed )
I will give guidelines on how to play these 2 roles .
Ganker/Semi Carry
Items
Early game
Circlet of nobility / 3 branches , 1 or 2 set of tango (depend on your opponent ability to harass)
Your job is just to farm out your arcane boots quick . Do not commit too much to killing at this point .
Please go to sideline . Do not be a hero in mid lane unless you are indeed the hero in the team .
Core Item
Arcane boots ( First )
Blink dagger
Drums ( if your team needs it )
Bottle ( Optional / Situational )
Mid/Late Game
If you continue to be a pure ganker , you can get dagon or scythe of vise
If you intend to turn into a semi carry , you can get Assault ,Afghanim Scepter , Mask of Madness ( Only get this if you have good timing and your opponent cant kill you in a split second with high damages )
Skill Build
1 .Avalanche
2. Toss
3. Avalanche
4. Toss
5. Avalanche
6. Toss
7. Avalanche
8. Toss
9 onwards – Grow whenever you can , and craggy exterior next priority . Rest is all stats
NOTE : NO , Do not skill grow early . Skilling toss is more worthwhile . I’ve done the maths . Just follow my Asian calculation , will you ?

Carry
This is how I usually play tiny . Cause it becomes a monster . Go to mid lane . Gank around level 6-8 if you can . You won’t get to farm forever unless you’re baby-sitted in a safe lane ( also viable )
Items
Early game
Circlet of nobility , 3 branches , 2 set of tango , 1 mana pot
GO MID LANE AND OWN . Stun the enemy and toss him to your creep near your tower if you can ( Provided you’re skilled enough ) or if you’re lucky enough to have invis rune toss him near the tower first then stun .
NOTE : This is not for newbies . If you’re newbie and wanna play carry tiny go for the safe lane and let some babysitter let you suck off all the gold from the creeps . The item build should all still be about the same .
Core Item
Phase boots ( Preferred )
Treads ( Optional )
Bottle ( Optional ) – depends if you’re having issues with mana or if you wanna control runes .
Mana pots ( Don’t be stingy - I still carry loads of this during mid game )
Drums
Mask of Madness / Hyperstone ( Remember when you use mask of madness you take extra damage )
Afghanim Scepter
DO NOT GET A BLINK . YOU DON’T NEED IT UNLESS YOU’RE A NEWBIE . YOU’RE ALREADY WALKING SO FAST . WELL , UNLESS IN SOME SITUATIONS YOU REALLY NEED IT AS INTIATING TOOL .
Late game (situational)
Assault Cuirass
Scythe of Vise
Shiva
BKB
And whatever you can think of . Use your brains .
Skill Build
Same with Ganker tiny
NOTE : The idea is to have tankiness , attack speed and cleave everybody down like nobody’s business . That’s your job .
