How Timbersaw and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Timbersaw and Templar Assassin win 34.03% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 288 matches.
Assuming these two are a natural fit is a common trap. Both Timbersaw and Templar Assassin want to hit a power spike and dominate the mid-game, but their plans clash. Timbersaw creates chaos by drawing attention and staying alive with Reactive Armor, but this isn't the controlled setup Templar Assassin needs. She wants to burst a specific hero with Meld, but finds the enemy team is often scattered or running away from Timbersaw's mess. They don't provide the lockdown for each other, leading to parallel fights instead of a coordinated attack. Without a third hero bringing a hard stun, key targets often simply walk away.
