How Pugna and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna and Timbersaw win 44.64% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 289 matches.
Trying to teamfight with this pair often feels disjointed. Timbersaw wants to Timber Chain deep into the enemy, creating chaos and forcing rotations. This style of mobile, aggressive fighting directly conflicts with what Pugna wants to do. For Pugna to be effective, he needs to stand still and channel Life Drain, ideally from a safe position where his Nether Ward can control a zone. When Timbersaw dives, he’s often too far away or moving too erratically for Pugna to provide support with his ultimate. They fundamentally want to play at different tempos, with one hero demanding mobility while the other excels in static engagements, leaving them playing separate games within the same fight.
