How this matchup plays

A mid-game push against a Tinker often stalls out, but Chen's army can make it difficult for him to completely stop the siege. Tinker can't always clear the whole zoo with March of the Machines before his tower takes real damage. On the flip side, Chen has very few tools to actually lock down and kill a split-pushing Tinker from across the map. The game becomes a race: can Chen and his team end the game with their early timing, or can Tinker drag things out long enough to take over? Neither hero effectively disrupts the other's primary game plan, leading to a matchup that hinges more on team execution than a direct counter.
