How this matchup plays
Getting a catch on a key hero is the whole point of playing Shadow Demon, but Vengeful Spirit makes this very difficult. Her Nether Swap is a direct answer to a Disruption setup, pulling the target to safety before your team can follow up. This often forces Shadow Demon to use his spells defensively or on less important targets. Even Vengeful Spirit's stun is a reliable way to interrupt his spell sequence before it can get going. She has the better tools for saving an ally from the exact kind of pickoff that Shadow Demon wants to create, leaving him struggling to have the intended impact.
