How Dark Willow and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Timbersaw win 40.35% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 347 matches.
Trying to follow up on Dark Willow’s Cursed Crown can be awkward. Timbersaw wants to unload his damage all at once, but the stun’s delay gives enemies time to react, meaning he often misses his ideal window. This fundamental disconnect extends to their overall game plan. Both heroes are built around early magical burst damage and have similar power spikes. This makes drafting and itemizing against them straightforward for the enemy team. When that initial plan fails, neither provides the sustained physical damage or tower pressure needed to break a base, leaving the team with a very one-dimensional and predictable strategy.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
