Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke wins the Grimstroke vs Tinker matchup: Grimstroke beats Tinker in 53.87% of 542 ranked matches.
Keeping the map pressured is Tinker’s whole game, and Grimstroke makes that incredibly difficult. The constant threat of a long-range silence from Phantom's Embrace is a nightmare for a hero who needs to channel Rearm to function. That phantom also gives vision, so hiding in the trees to escape is much harder. Even if Tinker navigates the early game, surviving teamfights is a huge problem. A single Soulbind is often a death sentence, as it prevents him from using a Blink Dagger to escape. Grimstroke effectively traps Tinker in the exact situations he is designed to avoid, shutting down his ability to safely split push or contribute to fights.
