Controlling the game's tempo gets very difficult for Shadow Demon's team. His main goal is to set up kills by using Disruption to isolate a target for a coordinated burst. The problem is that Dazzle completely negates this entire sequence with a well-timed Shallow Grave. The moment Shadow Demon's victim reappears, Dazzle makes them unkillable, wasting the setup and leaving Shadow Demon with his spells on cooldown for nothing. This failure to secure pickoffs allows Dazzle's team to farm more aggressively and push objectives with less fear. Dazzle directly dismantles the core function of Shadow Demon's kit, preventing his team from gaining the momentum needed to win.
