Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Ringmaster wins the Ringmaster vs Shadow Demon matchup: Ringmaster beats Shadow Demon in 52.28% of 5,251 ranked matches.
Controlling the game's tempo is tough for either side here. Shadow Demon can often nullify Ringmaster's big moments with a well-timed Disruption, saving an ally caught by a trap or hypnotic device. This reset prevents Ringmaster's team from easily converting a pickoff into an objective. However, Ringmaster is a slippery target himself, using his own escape tricks to dodge Shadow Demon's setup. Because both heroes are so effective at foiling the other's plans, neither tends to build a clear advantage. The matchup hinges more on which support's core is better equipped to play around these constant interruptions, rather than on the direct interaction between the two supports themselves.
