How this matchup plays
Trying to frontline as Timbersaw feels impossible when a Shadow Demon is in the game. Demonic Purge is a direct answer to Reactive Armor, constantly stripping away the stacks that make Timbersaw so durable. The massive slow also makes it difficult for him to escape with Timber Chain once he's caught. On the other hand, a squishy support like Shadow Demon is the perfect food for Timbersaw. If he gets caught by a chain, he’s gone. This matchup is a duel of initiation; whichever hero gets the jump usually wins the fight, making it a coin flip dependent on positioning and vision.
