Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Shadow Shaman wins the Brewmaster vs Shadow Shaman matchup: Shadow Shaman beats Brewmaster in 50.56% of 12,269 ranked matches.
Trying to start a fight as Brewmaster can be difficult against a prepared Shadow Shaman. A quick Hex or well-placed Shackles can completely prevent Primal Split from being cast, often leading to a quick death before the fight even begins. This interaction is the core of the matchup. Even if Brewmaster successfully splits, Shadow Shaman can still use his disables to lock down one of the valuable spirits, like the Storm panda, to reduce its impact. This doesn't shut the ultimate down completely, but it does give his team an easier time dealing with the chaos and can tilt a close fight in their favor.
