How Death Prophet and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Timbersaw win 49.04% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 157 matches.
Pairing two durable, magic-damage cores seems like it should create an overwhelming mid-game front line. The problem is that Death Prophet and Timbersaw both want to do the exact same job without helping each other do it. They offer very little lockdown, so enemies can often disengage or kite their sustained damage. Stacking their magic output also makes it too easy for the other team to itemize against them with a single Pipe of Insight or a few Glimmer Capes. Since they occupy similar core roles, they often end up competing for the same farm on the map, slowing down the key timings both heroes need to hit.
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.
