How Dazzle and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Timbersaw win 47.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 300 matches.
Controlling the map often feels difficult because this pair struggles to pressure objectives. The core issue is a fundamental mismatch in damage types. Dazzle's main offensive scaling comes from reducing enemy armor with his spells via Bad Juju, which sets up big physical damage. Timbersaw, however, deals almost exclusively magic and pure damage, gaining no benefit from that armor shred. While a Shallow Grave can be useful for anyone, Timbersaw's high mobility and inherent tankiness make him a less-than-ideal target for it. He’d much rather have a partner with lockdown to hold enemies in place for his spells, something Dazzle lacks.
