Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Snapfire wins the Shadow Demon vs Snapfire matchup: Snapfire beats Shadow Demon in 54.46% of 10,471 ranked matches.
Teamfights often come down to Snapfire finding a good position for Mortimer Kisses. Shadow Demon has no way to stop the channel from a distance and is too slow and fragile to survive sitting in the impact zones. His own primary save, Disruption, can even be a liability against it, holding an ally in place to take damage from multiple globs. Before that point in the game, Snapfire’s Scatterblast makes it hard for Shadow Demon to build up meaningful Shadow Poison stacks in lane. Meanwhile, Firesnap Cookie provides a reliable escape or reposition for anyone caught by a Disruption setup. Snapfire simply has a direct, effective answer for most of SD's game plan at all stages.
