Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden wins the Arc Warden vs Shadow Demon matchup: Arc Warden beats Shadow Demon in 55.87% of 1,158 ranked matches.
Saving an ally caught by Arc Warden's Tempest Double is often straightforward for Shadow Demon. His Disruption can completely negate the initial slow from Flux, and the illusions it creates will prevent the slow from reapplying. This buys enough time for the target to escape a Spark Wraith trap. However, this is a two-way street. The real Arc Warden plays from a safe distance while his clone hunts for targets. Shadow Demon is a very fragile hero, and if he's the one caught out of position by the clone, he has no reliable way to save himself. The matchup often comes down to whose team has better vision and initiation.
