How Timbersaw and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Timbersaw and Warlock win 46.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 432 matches.
Facing this duo often feels less threatening than it should. The core issue is a clash of positioning and tempo. Timbersaw wants to dive deep, zipping between trees and creating chaos far from his own team. Warlock, by contrast, excels in more controlled engagements where his team can play around a Chaotic Offering golem or a fully channeled Upheaval. If Timbersaw gets caught out after a Timber Chain, Warlock’s supportive spells like Shadow Word are often too slow to save him from being burst down. This pairing forces both heroes to play against their natural tendencies, leading to fights where neither can operate at full strength.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
