How Night Stalker and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Night Stalker and Timbersaw win 45.69% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,616 matches.
Playing against this pair often feels like you're fighting two separate heroes instead of one cohesive team. Night Stalker's entire game is about using the darkness to find, silence, and eliminate a single isolated target. He wants to pick someone off before a fight begins. Timbersaw, however, wants the exact opposite. He excels in messy, drawn-out brawls against multiple heroes, using his area-of-effect spells to wear down the enemy front line. This fundamental conflict in their goals means they rarely enable each other, often leaving the team split between trying to gank or trying to teamfight. They want to play on different parts of the map and fight in opposite ways.
