Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Shadow Shaman wins the Crystal Maiden vs Shadow Shaman matchup: Shadow Shaman beats Crystal Maiden in 50.69% of 102,415 ranked matches.
Trying to channel an ultimate in a teamfight is a scary proposition for both these heroes. Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field can be instantly canceled by Shadow Shaman's Hex or Shackles. On the flip side, Maiden can easily stop Shaman's Shackles with a quick Frostbite. It often becomes a game of who gets their disable off first. Both heroes are fragile and rely on staying at a safe distance to contribute, but their core kits directly threaten each other. Success depends entirely on who gets the drop on whom, making vision and positioning the deciding factors rather than any inherent hero advantage.
