How Anti-Mage and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Anti-Mage and Timbersaw win 40.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 705 matches.
Setting up a Mana Void is often how Anti-Mage ends a teamfight, but Timbersaw's entire damage kit works against this. Timbersaw deals high amounts of magical and pure damage through his spells, aiming to burst down targets quickly. He has no way to drain an opponent's mana pool. This means he will frequently kill the very targets Anti-Mage needed to stay alive with low mana for his ultimate to be effective. Instead of working together, their damage outputs conflict, making it very difficult for Anti-Mage to find the perfect moment to cast his biggest spell.
This conflict extends to their game plans. Anti-Mage needs a safe game and a ton of farm to come online, while Timbersaw wants to be aggressive from the mid-game onward, forcing fights. The team is pulled in two directions: protect the carry and let him farm, or group up and fight with the offlaner. An enemy team can easily pressure one while the other is on the opposite side of the map, taking objectives and forcing a difficult response. This creates a constant tension over map control and teamfight timings that is very easy to exploit.
