Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.

Setting up a kill with Disruption often backfires against Hoodwink. She can simply time her Bushwhack to stun your ally the moment they reappear, turning your save into a kill for her team. In lane, Hoodwink's Scurry makes it difficult for Shadow Demon to land enough Shadow Poison stacks to be a threat, letting her control the trades. As the game progresses, her ability to play from the trees and quickly burst a target from range is a huge problem. Shadow Demon lacks the mobility or instant lockdown required to pin her down, and his own low health pool makes him a prime target for a quick Acorn Shot combo.
