Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Centaur Warrunner wins the Centaur Warrunner vs Shadow Demon matchup: Centaur Warrunner beats Shadow Demon in 50.20% of 249 ranked matches.
Picking Shadow Demon feels risky when Centaur Warrunner is in the pool. Shadow Demon's signature spell, Disruption, becomes a massive liability here. Creating illusions of Centaur gives the enemy team two extra bodies that have Retaliate and hit hard, often turning the fight against your own carries. Beyond that, Centaur's whole game plan counters what Shadow Demon wants to do. Trying to kite with slows from Demonic Purge is pointless when Stampede lets Centaur and his allies run at max speed across the map. When Centaur inevitably gets on top of him with a Blink Dagger, Shadow Demon is too fragile to survive the Hoof Stomp initiation. It’s a tough matchup from start to finish.
