There is warding. Had a funny game where one of my team mates was support and bought 50! counter wards in order to find opponent wards. He finally found it in a place none in the team had ever seen a ward used to scout the water from (we lost the ward war big that game). I never get that much farm when I play support, I mostly try to avoid dying, screening carries and going along for ganks. True, you can have a 5 min period where there is nothing to do if both line-ups are passive, with aggressive ones the game never really gets slow for support due to the ganks. Then there are support heros and support heros, some are great at ganking as well, those are usually fun all game, like lina, lion, vengeful, rhasta.
As for tinker, that is a nice hero after you get BoT. If that can be stopped until the 20 min mark tinker is mostly harmless since other heroes are then capable of ganking him when he farms and he isn't doing 60% damage with one round of nukes.

Support heroes --> buy some disables --> a lot more useful in teamfights ^^ Especially Rhasta and Lion. They got disables skills already + an item. Over 5sec disable. I think carry needs a bkb asap ^^

That is the issue, carries tend to get BKB, it is cheaper than most disabling items. :/

Overall the heroes are getting more even. Some are weaker, some stronger. Basically they are balancing it more all the time. There are of course some heroes that are just plain stronger than others. Heroes like Doombringer and Ancient Appariation are among the strongest right now, yet they are only like 10% stronger than the average heroes. As always it is more a matter of team and lane balance than any single hero strength. A lane with two agi melee heroes will almost always lose against two 600 range heroes.
