Puck vs Tiny

How this matchup plays

Thinking Puck can simply kite an immobile hero like Tiny is a trap. The reality is that Tiny's Avalanche and Toss combo is instant, and often provides enough burst to kill Puck before Phase Shift can even be used as a reaction. The matchup boils down to prediction: Puck must anticipate the combo and use Phase Shift to dodge the initial stun. If the dodge is successful, Puck can easily turn and punish a spell-less Tiny. If it's mistimed, the engagement is over before it begins, creating a constant knife-edge scenario for both players.

This tense dynamic defines the entire game. Puck is forced to play cautiously, using Illusory Orb from a distance to scout and trying to land a good Dream Coil on Tiny's teammates. The goal is to control the fight without ever being the primary target. Tiny plays the role of an assassin, looking for that one opening to blink in and delete Puck from the map. Whichever hero gets the jump and executes their plan first usually comes out ahead, making fights between these two incredibly volatile and dependent on who makes the first mistake.
