Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Marci wins the Marci vs Shadow Demon matchup: Marci beats Shadow Demon in 57.23% of 173 ranked matches.
Drafting Shadow Demon into a Marci often feels like a mistake. Marci can close the distance instantly with Rebound, completely ignoring the careful positioning Shadow Demon relies on to stay alive. His primary defensive spell, Disruption, is a poor answer to her aggression. Banishing Marci simply delays her attack, and she'll often come out of the banishment ready to finish the job with Unleash. Shadow Demon is too fragile to survive her initial burst and lacks any real escape. Even his ultimate, Demonic Purge, is a single-target solution for a hero who can jump on him from anywhere and delete him before the spell has its full effect.
