Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition wins the Ancient Apparition vs Timbersaw matchup: Ancient Apparition beats Timbersaw in 56.91% of 362 ranked matches.
Controlling the map with a Timbersaw becomes incredibly difficult when facing an Ancient Apparition. The whole point of Timbersaw is to be an unkillable regenerating frontliner, but Ice Blast completely negates his primary strength. Once that ultimate hits him, all healing and regeneration from Reactive Armor and his items are disabled. Suddenly he's a very fragile hero who can’t use Timber Chain aggressively or survive teamfights. This forces him to play from behind, unable to create space or pressure objectives, which usually leaves his team exposed and on the defensive. He can’t fulfill his role, and his team suffers for it.
