How this matchup plays
Thinking you can easily save someone from Leshrac with Disruption is a common mistake. While the spell does stop his initial burst, the banished target is a sitting duck for a follow-up Split Earth, and illusions from the spell die instantly to Diabolic Edict. A good Shadow Demon player knows this and plays around it. By using Soul Catcher on Leshrac before he commits, you can amplify all incoming damage and make him too fragile to run at your team. The fight often comes down to this exchange: Shadow Demon tries to set up a kill on a vulnerable Leshrac, while Leshrac tries to bait the save and punish the landing.
