Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Night Stalker wins the Night Stalker vs Timbersaw matchup: Night Stalker beats Timbersaw in 63.55% of 524 ranked matches.
Seeing Timbersaw get picked often makes Night Stalker a classic counter-pick. The entire game for Timbersaw is about spamming spells to move, survive, and deal damage, and Night Stalker's AoE silence from Crippling Fear simply turns him off. A Timbersaw caught at night without his Timber Chain is completely helpless against the burst damage and lockdown from a gank. Even during the day, a well-timed Void is usually enough to secure a kill. Night Stalker also provides excellent vision to track Timbersaw through the trees, removing his main defensive tool. It's telling that they don't work well on the same team either, which highlights how one-sided this matchup becomes.
