Timbersaw (Timber) Counter Picks — 7.41f
Who counters Timbersaw (Timber) in Dota 2 7.41f? Counter picks and matchups for Timbersaw, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Timbersaw is a melee-shredding offlaner whose Reactive Armor stacks make him unkillable in extended fights, with Whirling Death and Timber Chain for magic burst and mobility. Reactive Armor is his whole identity, so the heroes that switch it off give him real trouble — he's hammered by silences, anti-armor, and pure damage, with Night Stalker, Spectre, Necrophos and Silencer all dismantling his stacks. He fares best grinding down greedy melee line-ups that can't punish his armor. Draft tip: lean on Timbersaw into slow, melee match-ups where his Reactive Armor stacks uncontested; avoid him into silence, break, or pure-damage heroes.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Timbersaw hardest are Outworld Destroyer, Grimstroke and Nyx Assassin — Timbersaw wins only 39.6%, 40.4% and 40.7% of ranked matches against them.
