Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma wins the Enigma vs Shadow Demon matchup: Enigma beats Shadow Demon in 60.47% of 129 ranked matches.
Saving an ally from Black Hole with Disruption seems like the obvious counter, but it rarely plays out cleanly. A good Enigma with a Blink Dagger will almost always catch multiple heroes, making the single-target save from Shadow Demon feel insignificant. Even when Disruption does land on a key target, it often happens after the fight is already lost. Worse, the illusions created by the save become perfect food for Enigma's Eidolons, letting them multiply and overwhelm objectives after the fight. Shadow Demon lacks the tools to deal with the split-pushing pressure from the summons and can't reliably stop the teamfight-winning ultimate, leaving him mostly helpless.
