How Keeper of the Light and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Keeper of the Light and Timbersaw win 46.47% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 467 matches.
Facing this duo often feels surprisingly straightforward. Timbersaw’s whole game is about using Timber Chain to dive deep and cause chaos, getting on top of fragile backliners. At the same time, Keeper of the Light needs to stay far away from danger to safely channel Illuminate or place a good Will-o-Wisp. This leaves Timbersaw completely isolated and fighting on his own. He gets stunned and focused down long before KotL can offer any real help beyond a hopeful Blinding Light from a screen away. The mana from Chakra Magic is nice early, but it doesn't solve the core problem that these two heroes fight from opposite ends of the map.
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.
