How this matchup plays

Locking down a hero like Tinker is often the biggest challenge, and Cursed Crown gives Dark Willow a perfect tool for the job. She can use it to set up kills on him before he can Rearm and blink away. Defensively, Shadow Realm lets her dodge Tinker's initial burst from Laser and Missiles, buying her team time to follow up. He can't safely split-push or join fights from the edge with her on the map. This matchup doesn't come up often, so a lot still comes down to execution.
