How this matchup plays

Defending against constant split-pushing is where this matchup breaks down for Shadow Demon. His spells are almost all single-target, designed to isolate one hero. Against Naga Siren, trying to use Disruption or Demonic Purge on the real hero is a guessing game that usually fails, leaving him with nothing. Naga can simply send her illusions to swarm and kill him, and he has no effective way to clear them or escape. He is fundamentally unequipped to deal with the sheer number of units she puts on the map. While his team is busy dealing with illusions, the real Naga Siren gets to farm freely and eventually ends the game with an overwhelming advantage.
