How this matchup plays
It's rare you want to see these two heroes in the same game, regardless of which team they're on. When allied, their timings and preferred map areas often conflict. When they're opponents, the situation is much clearer. Timbersaw relies on Reactive Armor and Timber Chain to survive fights, but Chen often finds the tools to ruin that plan. A controlled creep with a root can prevent his escape, or a Satyr's Purge will strip away his armor stacks instantly. This leaves Timbersaw completely vulnerable to follow-up from Chen's army, while Hand of God also makes it harder for him to secure kills with his burst damage.
