Goblin tinker

The goblin tinker is a neutral hero in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and was added in patch 1.15.

April Fools’ joke

On April 1 2004 Blizzard Entertainment announced the goblin tinker as a new neutral hero, that would be available in the next patch. A day later, Blizzard revealed that the tinker was merely a April Fools’ joke. However, the tinker became subject to many forum posts and petitions that wanted the tinker to be a playable hero. On April 14, Blizzard announced the tinker to be added in patch 1.15.
