Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Brewmaster wins the Brewmaster vs Shadow Fiend matchup: Brewmaster beats Shadow Fiend in 57.46% of 456 ranked matches.
Getting jumped by Brewmaster is a constant threat for Shadow Fiend. He's a fragile hero with no escape, and Brewmaster is excellent at closing distance and applying pressure. Even if you manage to activate a Black King Bar, Brewmaster can often wait it out with Primal Split. Once he's split, his pandas offer multiple ways to lock you down and kill you long after your spell immunity expires. The cyclone from the Storm panda can lift you, or the Earth panda can follow up with another stun. Shadow Fiend needs perfect positioning to contribute, but Brewmaster makes it incredibly difficult to find a safe spot to stand and cast spells.
