Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Shadow Shaman wins the Outworld Destroyer vs Shadow Shaman matchup: Shadow Shaman beats Outworld Destroyer in 52.03% of 1,280 ranked matches.
Drafting Outworld Destroyer into a Shadow Shaman requires a lot of respect and careful planning. The main issue is the sheer duration of lockdown Shadow Shaman brings to a gank. Once he has a Blink Dagger, he can initiate from the fog, and a clean Hex into Shackles combo is often a death sentence for OD before he can even react. This forces the Outworld Destroyer to play cautiously and often rush a Black King Bar earlier than preferred, delaying his core damage items. Even with a BKB, you have to be extremely careful with its cooldown, as getting caught by Shadow Shaman without it active means you're completely neutralized for the fight.
