Spin! Cut! Shred! A guide to Timbersaw

Apart from playing timber as a classic offlaner, you can consider putting him mid. He is capable of going head to head against some of the meta mid heroes now, and is very hard to kill, thus making him capable of surving ganks from one or even two supports. He is one of the best, if not the best answer to Alchemist mid, there is nothing Alchemist can do if you max reactive armour first. Dk does nothing with his fire-breathing, since you hardly do any right clicking. Most of the other mid heroes will find a hard time killing timber to gain an advantage

great work! keep it up-to-date plz :)

Nice clear guide +1 from me.

hey, i like your guide. i build the same way (skill wise)

a couple things:
.you may want to update your info about atos and blade mail (as one was nerfed[no true strike on cripple] and one was buffed[returns same type of damage dealt])
.i really dig the when to pick/when not to pick section

nice guide! wish more people read these sorts of things in my 3k pubs/ranked games

Ive played so much timbersaw ive forgot how to play other heroes. Nice guide tho yet. You get a vote from me

Timber's quite a terrible hero when playing against people who actually know how the hero works. Timber chain's limitation on only targetting trees makes it highly jukeable and easy to see coming, and chakram's speed is slow as balls. Also, the lack of trees inside high ground gimps him immensely in scenarios when trying to end the game. No disables, hard countered by silences and mana drain, I don't see a good place for this hero in any draft unless it's to specifically hard counter heroes like Huskar.

Simple and effective. Take my +1

Hello Cyryna,

your guide is pretty solid work. +1 from me.
I agree with your skill and item build reasoning (though I am one of the Timber Chain first players in most cases). Well written and explained over all. The layout/design is pretty straight, but nice. This is defintely the right way to go!

As you already mentioned there are some chapters and topics you could expand on as you like.
You should really do that!

Have a nice day, E1
