How this matchup plays

Getting hit by Soulbind is a death sentence for Timbersaw. His entire escape plan relies on Timber Chain, which the latch completely neutralizes, and any follow-up single-target spell from Grimstroke's team gets duplicated. This allows a team to easily burst through Timbersaw's high armor and regeneration, turning his usual role as a disruptive front-liner into a huge liability. Instead of being an unkillable nuisance, he becomes the primary, easy target. The heroes are a fundamental mismatch in the other direction, too; Timbersaw brings no single-target spells of his own for Grimstroke to copy, making them ineffective partners when they end up on the same team.
