How Ember Spirit and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ember Spirit and Timbersaw win 38.64% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 427 matches.
Playing against this core combination often feels surprisingly safe. Both Ember Spirit and Timbersaw bring a lot of mobility and damage, but they struggle to hold anyone in place for the other to unload. An enemy with a simple escape tool can frequently get away before either hero finishes their full combo. Ember Spirit relies on Searing Chains for control, which isn't a hard stun, and Timbersaw mostly offers a slow from his Chakram. This forces their supports to provide all the team's lockdown, creating a greedy composition that lacks a stable frontline or reliable initiation. The two heroes end up doing similar jobs without enabling one another.
