Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Visage wins the Shadow Fiend vs Visage matchup: Visage beats Shadow Fiend in 60.31% of 519 ranked matches.
Thinking you can burst Visage down with Requiem of Souls is a common mistake. His Gravekeeper's Cloak will almost always absorb enough of the initial magic damage for him to survive and turn the fight. While Shadow Fiend is a stationary target during his ultimate, Visage can easily drop Grave Chill and send his Familiars to attack. With no innate escape mechanism, Shadow Fiend gets torn apart by the Familiars' sustained physical damage. This problem persists all game, as Visage and his summons are too durable and spread out for SF to effectively clear with his area-of-effect spells.
