How Timbersaw and Spirit Breaker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Timbersaw and Spirit Breaker win 48.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 797 matches.
Coordinating a gank with these two heroes can feel disjointed. Spirit Breaker gives his target plenty of warning with Charge of Darkness, and his goal is to isolate and push that enemy around. This often works against Timbersaw, who wants enemies to stay grouped near him and near trees for his spells to do maximum work. When Spirit Breaker knocks a target away, he can inadvertently save them from Timbersaw's damage or move them to a spot where Timber Chain is useless. Their core functions pull the fight in different directions.
This dynamic continues into larger teamfights. A smart opponent seeing the charge will immediately move to open ground, making Timbersaw’s job much harder before he even arrives. Later in the game, Spirit Breaker is often looking to barrel into the enemy back line to disrupt supports, while Timbersaw is trying to cut down the durable frontliners. This can split the fight into two separate skirmishes, leaving it up to the rest of their team to provide the cohesive lockdown or grouping that Spirit Breaker and Timbersaw struggle to create for one another.
