How this matchup plays

Running at a Shadow Shaman as a tanky Ogre Magi can be a mistake. Shaman has plenty of control between Hex and Shackles to hold Ogre in place for a very long time, often before Ogre can even get into range for a Fireblast. While Ogre is durable, he has no innate way to interrupt a channel or purge a Hex. This vulnerability gives Shadow Shaman a clean opening to fully channel his disable, allowing teammates to collapse and kill Ogre before he can contribute his stuns or buffs to the fight.

This matchup is mostly decided by positioning and who gets the drop on whom. In teamfights, Ogre Magi wants to stay near his cores, providing Bloodlust so they can deal with Mass Serpent Ward or Shaman himself. If Ogre gets caught out, he’s an easy kill. On the other hand, Shadow Shaman is fragile; if Ogre can find him first and land a Multicast Fireblast, Shaman will be the one going down. It often comes down to which support finds the other one out of position first.
