Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Shadow Demon wins the Huskar vs Shadow Demon matchup: Shadow Demon beats Huskar in 50.43% of 117 ranked matches.
Controlling the map as Huskar relies on early aggression, but Shadow Demon’s kit is designed to slow that pace down. Demonic Purge is a huge problem, as breaking Berserker's Blood strips away Huskar's magic resistance and attack speed when he's low. Disruption can also save an ally from a Life Break gank, denying the kill Huskar needs to snowball. However, this all assumes Shadow Demon can survive the initial jump. Huskar can often close the gap and kill the fragile support with Burning Spears before he gets his spells off. The fight really depends on who gets the drop on whom.
