Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka wins the Kunkka vs Shadow Demon matchup: Kunkka beats Shadow Demon in 50.31% of 161 ranked matches.
Choosing Shadow Demon into an enemy Kunkka is a tough sell, and it’s for the same core reason they often fail as teammates. Kunkka’s strength lies in huge area damage from Tidebringer and Ghostship, making Shadow Demon's single-target Disruption feel completely outmatched in a teamfight. Even when you successfully banish a key target to save them, Kunkka can use X Marks the Spot to pull them right back where he wants them after the effect ends. This core timing conflict makes Shadow Demon feel ineffective against him and actively disruptive with him, as a misplaced save can ruin his ally's entire combo.
