How this matchup plays
Saving an ally from Primal Beast with Disruption often feels like you're only delaying the inevitable. Primal Beast is tanky enough to wait out the banish and then simply re-engage on the same target or swap to a new one. Shadow Demon himself is a prime target for this, as he has no real escape once Primal closes the gap with Onslaught. The spell immunity from that charge means he can't even be slowed or debuffed on the way in. Once Primal Beast starts his Trample, Shadow Demon melts. It's telling that these two heroes also work poorly together; the same Disruption that fails to stop an enemy Primal will completely ruin an allied one's momentum.
