Buy glimmer and forcestaff. Glimmer the dude getting hexed so vision is sure to be commited so you force staff that hero away making tinker commit furthar thus giving your team an opportunity to catch him.

You can't beat tinker alone unless he's dumb or you're rambo playing pos 4/5. Hope this helps

If he is being lastpicked than their really isn't much to do... Try getting items that can stunlock him (Abyss for example) or get protection items (Such as that lotus/bkb), linkens works aswell against his hex if he didn't used a target spell on you.

Get tinker wards. Get hex and try to predict his next target with lotus.

Just blink hex/stun him with your carry. You don't need to overfarm him, he is squishy even lategame as most of his items don't give ehp. Catch him when he fly to farm lane.

Pick Warlock, you have spells that will break his blinks, both Bonds and Shadow Word.
SD, because reasons.
Phoenix, pretty much all of his spells counters Tinker.
Bane, same thing.
Oracle, because its Oracle.
SS, hex, Shackles.
Venge.
WD.

You dont have to be a Carry to counter enemy picks, you just need to think a bit about it. All these heroes are in line, from best to the one who is last on that "best" list.
And pretty much, all that is important is to break his blink.

True, tho most of those heroes need Blink to be effective, if you want to push. If you defend, no need for blink, he comes to you.
