Threat Hero Notes
0
 Joule Just block her stun and be in a safe place before using suppressing fire otherwise she might ult you.
1
 Phinn Not a problem alone. Block his stun and pull
1
 Lyra Watch out when she ults on your team for she could have atlas pauldron ready.
2
 Adagio Not much of a problem especially alone. Make sure to block his ult if he sets you on fire
2
 Ringo No big deal
3
 Alpha Not much of a threat. But she can snipe you if you are low on health. If she ults, use roadie run or move away.
3
 Ardan His gauntlet can ruin your day and i dont recommend shanking people while inside. Try to anticipate a punch because of the punch-instant atlas combo so u can block it.
3
 Gwen Not a big threat other than her stun. Otherwise have fun ripping Gwen to shreds.
3
 Petal Easy kill if you have stacks don't worry about the munions just go for petal
3
 Ozo Block the stun and don't engage without full stacks.
3
 Skye Cp can be a problem. Block her ult or you might die
4
 Idris Haven't had much experience fighting Idris. Move away from his chakrams early game though.
4
 Vox WP not a problem, Cp is though.
4
 Flicker Really annoying. Make sure you have vision
4
 Grumpjaw Meh. Block ult
5
 Baptiste His stun and fear can ruin your day along with skill shots. Kite him and block his cc as best as you can and you'll live.
5
 Blackfeather Alone he isn't a big threat but with support, he can dice you up. Be careful
5
 Churnwalker Annoying with the amount of damage he can do without building dmg items . He can also pull you out of position and your whole team. I don't recommend playing saw against this guy.
5
 Grace Watch out for her stun
5
 Lorelai Watch out for her stun
5
 Catherine Watch out for her stun
5
 Fortress
5
 SAW May the best SAW win! You of course (duh). Vulnerable during suppressing fire, attack has been slowed, or little to no stacks.
5
 Lance If he tries to root you, use roadie run to stab and roll away or block it as well as his B and atlas pauldron.
6
 Samuel Dodge his A and watch out for his ult. Kite him and you should be fine.
6
 Reza His burst damage can be insane in a team fight but he can put up a good fight in a 1v1. Block his A and Ult though in a team fight.
7
 Varya With my experience, she is a difficult match up because of her A and the shield that she gets with her B. She is most vulnerable when her B is on cooldown. Rip her to shreds when you get the chance.
7
 Baron He out damages you and out ranges you with his Mortars. Bully him in early game so you can slow his builds. Baron is a force to be reckoned with late game. Be careful
7
 Glaive Make sure to block his AfterBurn or you'll die.
8
 Krul Block stun and stay away from bushes without vision. His gap closer has a small range and a bit slow so keep your distance and you should be fine.
8
 Tony Could be a big threat with the two stuns in his kit as well as a major knock-back and his natural tankiness. Especialy if this guy is going crit.
9
   No Threat
10
 Rona If she jumps on you, use roadie run or boots and wait for support. She is the queen of sustain and in a 1v1 scenario, SAW will get his head split open with an axe.
10
 Koshka Make sure to block her stun or you will most likely die. Don't 1v1 just run.
10
 Skaarf Bad match up. He out-ranges you and counters your life-steal with his burn especially if Skaarf is building spellfire. But realy squishy. Dodge his skillshots as best as you can and hope for the best
10
 Celeste Like Skaarf, she out-ranges you with her skillshots and her stun can really give you a bad time. Reflex Block it and you will be fine. But super squishy and immobile. Kite her and
10
 Kestrel Another bad match up. Use your minions or allies as a shield from her Glimmershots and auto-attack her whenever possible to apply pressure.

About SAW and a few tips Top

SAW was built to push turrets and bully enemy Laners. He has the highest damage potential out of all the heroes in VG so far and eats up turrets, objectives, and enemies like their nothing. SAW may seem impossible to beat at times but he has major weaknesses. Every stack he gets makes lowers his movement speed which makes him highly vulnerable to CC and skill shots. He doesn't have a good escape. His A ability Roadie Run gives you a burst of movement speed but other than that, his mobility is very limited. Using his B ability can be risky as he his most vulnerable to cc and dives. Activate it in a safe place or if you are surrounded by your teams. You can also use it to bait the enemy team to engage you while your teammates are in the bushes waiting to ambush. When rolling after using Roadie Run, you can pass through thin walls so keep that in mind when you're in a tough spot. Block atlas pauldrons because it can shut you down temporarily (duh) if you do get slowed, just run as there is not much you can. Rejoin the fight if you have a decent amount of health with a flask. Know when to back off and recall.Don't forget to use your scout cams!!!

Early Game Top

In the early game, I usually like to start off with Book of Eulogies and defense so I can perform better trades with the enemy laner. On your first recall, buy T1 boots and a weapon blade into a Heavy Steel. If playing against a lot of cc, definitely buy reflex block. SAW can very quickly erase minion waves. As your clearing them, begin to slowly move towards the laner (be careful of other enemies in the bushes) and land a couple of basic attacks to push him/her back. Back off if you need to but definitely keep the pressure up. Minion candies can help you push if the enemy laner knows how to deal with a SAW but don't buy too many as they are a bit expensive can slow your item build a bit

Mid-Game Top

By this point you should have destroyed the first turret or at least close to it. It's a good idea to help push other lanes or help teammates with objectives.

Late Game Top

At this point it's possible for multiple people to build armor. To counter this, simply build bonesaw, but only IF multiple people are building armor, otherwise there's no point and you won't do as much damage. As for which item to replace, get rid of a Tyrant's Monacle or one of your defensive items.

The End Top

Thx for reading my first guide. Love to hear feedback and what I could do better or play saw better as well as dealing with other heroes. Hope you enjoyed this guide. Sorry for it being so long ;)
