It was already possible before... I think it's the latter. :C

Then how is this a fix?
Tickling is a feature of the holiday punch last time I checked.

Guys, they just did some repairs to this.

It's probably because of two reasons:

It was much more effective than stunning or sapping on giants, and I guess they couldn't find a middle ground.
Tickling a Sentry Buster would make it blow up immediately (since that's its taunt).
