How Riki and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Riki and Timbersaw win 47.64% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 296 matches.
Fighting with Timbersaw on your team often means a chaotic, drawn-out brawl where he zips around, drawing all the attention. This kind of messy engagement doesn't create clean openings for Riki, who prefers to find and isolate a specific target on the edge of the fight for a quick kill. Instead of a clear setup, Riki is often left looking for an angle in a clump of heroes focused on his durable ally. Timbersaw doesn't offer a hard lockdown to hold someone in place for Riki's burst, and the pair can feel like they're executing two separate plans in the same fight, rather than working together to secure kills.
