How this matchup plays

Controlling the pace of the game is difficult for either side, as both heroes have tools that directly answer the other. Shadow Demon's Disruption is a classic answer to a physical carry, either saving an ally from Muerta's focus fire or setting her up for a gank. However, the matchup becomes a high-stakes cooldown game around Muerta's ultimate. Once she triggers Pierce the Veil, she's immune to the physical damage from any Disruption illusions. The real pivot is Demonic Purge. If Shadow Demon lands his ultimate, its break effect disables Gunslinger and guts her damage. If he misses or uses it on someone else, Muerta is free to dominate the teamfight.
