Thinking you can out-farm and one-shot the enemy team is a common trap for Shadow Fiend players in this game. In reality, Shadow Fiend has a miserable time playing against all the map control from Proximity Mines. Every jungle camp becomes a risk, and standing still to channel Requiem of Souls is an invitation for Techies to use Blast Off! and lock you down. Techies makes it incredibly difficult for Shadow Fiend to ever hit his timings safely. We haven't seen this matchup much recently, so things could have shifted.
How the matchup shifts across skill brackets — Shadow Fiend's win rate against Techies in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted.
