Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Primal Beast wins the Primal Beast vs Timbersaw matchup: Primal Beast beats Timbersaw in 51.05% of 239 ranked matches.
Playing as Timbersaw into a Primal Beast is a constant struggle. Most of Primal Beast's damage output from Trample is magical, which completely bypasses the high armor you build up with Reactive Armor. You want to keep your distance, but he closes gaps easily with Onslaught and can then lock you down with Pulverize, preventing any escape via Timber Chain. He also applies a break through Uproar, which shuts down your passive health regeneration at critical moments. Timbersaw relies on out-sustaining opponents through armor and regen, but Primal Beast directly counters both of those strengths with his base kit, leaving you surprisingly fragile in every engagement.
