Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ursa wins the Shadow Demon vs Ursa matchup: Ursa beats Shadow Demon in 51.57% of 223 ranked matches.
Saving an ally from Ursa with a well-timed Disruption feels like the perfect counter, but it often backfires. The moment Shadow Demon uses his save, he becomes Ursa's new primary target and usually dies before his ally even reappears. Similarly, while Demonic Purge can remove Enrage, Ursa can often activate Black King Bar to block the debuff or simply use his ultimate after the purge hits. This creates a tense standoff where the fight depends entirely on who gets the jump. The same disjointed timing that makes them poor allies on one team makes them an even match when fighting each other, as neither can fully dictate the engagement.
