Tiny Overview

Lore & Bio

“Knocked ya back to the stone age.”

Starting with life from a small stone, Tiny's origin is a mystery he has always been searching for. Although he was now a giant stone man, the question of his former self was still lingering in his mind. Is a small stone detached from the Golem's heel? Or a crumb left after sculpting Gargoyle? Or just a fragment of Visage from Garthos' prophecy? That curiosity was ingrained in Tiny's mind, prompting him to travel around the world to learn about his own origins, learn about his family, learn about his tribe. In that endless journey, Tiny grew bigger and heavier, the small stones were absorbed and attached to his body became one, and so on and so on. Tiny grew bigger and never stopped.

Game plan

Early game

You have to wait until level 3 to have enough energy to use it, so don't be aggressive or waste mana in the first levels (unless you are sure the enemy will die when you Toss them into your team's turret). Toss (W) is a rather difficult skill to use if you want to hit the person you want to throw, it is best to lure the enemy to a place where there are no creeps and then use it if you want to deal more damage. Tiny's usual combo is Avalanche (Q), timing and surrounding units to use Toss (W) to throw the enemy to the desired location.

Mid game

At this stage, you need to manage your mana appropriately to balance farming, pushing, and ganking. Once you have equipped yourself with Shadow blade or Blink dagger, you should gank and push often, not farm in one place, it will be a waste of your skill set. Tiny has the ability to farm very quickly after getting on Aghanim's Scepter, so don't worry too much, but when you go ganking you should pay attention to use Toss (W) so that it's reasonable, lest there will be teammates. Unfortunately, it happened. Town portal scroll is an item you must always carry during this phase.

Late game

The goal to achieve at this stage is to end the game with the opponent's Ancient collapsing, and Tiny with Aghanim's Scepter is a true pusher. You can split push 1 lane or participate in a full push with teammates and you push very fast. Try not to get caught alone or unnecessarily aggressive. If you have good support from your teammates, you can fly into the middle of the enemy's formation, use skills and equipment to deal damage then stand to fight, making sure no enemy can stand it. your awesome hand damage.
