As a Carry, once he gets Aghanim + Hyperstone x2, he can push an empty lane and destroy 2-3 towers in 2 minutes.
Tiny as a carry? Have they changed Dota2 much from the first one? I refuse to install Steam on my PC so I couldn't know, but that's a strange role to put Tiny in. Didn't Icefrog just transfer the game in a new engine?

No Tiny's official role is Initiator in DOTA 2. I haven't tried in pubs, but I got Arcane Boots, Aghanim, Hyperstone, Daedalus, and Vladimir, and I could beat 2 AI opponents of the same level ganging up against me. Crits for up to 1090 damage on multiple opponents thanks to grow. Then again I'm not sure how well I can get this powerful against human opponents.

Ah, I see. Just to be clear, my post wasn't an attempt to be a smartass, I genuinely was wondering if Dota got changed during the transition.
So it seems that heroes still have the same "official role" (or imo "the preferred role in high skill matches"). Thanks for clarifying that for me.

ps: in pubs if you know the game you can carry with anyone! :D

No worries. During hero selection, it's officially stated what role they have. In Tiny's case, it's initiator. Yeah I'm still kinda new to DOTA. I've played it in WC3, but only in LAN games with friends. Never really liked DOTA, but DOTA 2's interface is alright, which makes the game much more fun for me.
