Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tiny wins the Shadow Demon vs Tiny matchup: Tiny beats Shadow Demon in 55.43% of 184 ranked matches.
Getting jumped by Tiny is usually a death sentence, but Shadow Demon has the perfect tool to ruin his initiation. A single Disruption on Tiny's victim will save them from the Avalanche and Toss combo, often leaving him stranded. The matchup hinges entirely on this one interaction. If Shadow Demon is positioned well, he controls the fight; if Tiny finds him first, SD dies instantly. The Disruption illusions of a farmed Tiny can also become a massive liability for his own team. This dynamic explains why they're often at odds even when on the same side, as their core abilities can easily work against each other's plans.
