How this matchup plays

Pushing towers with Familiars forces a fight that Shadow Demon is poorly equipped to handle. His entire kit is designed to isolate and bring down a single target, but Visage brings multiple threats that can't be easily controlled. Disruption might save someone for a moment, but the birds will keep attacking. Soul Catcher can amplify damage on Visage, yet the summons are often the real source of damage in a fight. Demonic Purge can slow the main hero, but it does nothing to stop the Familiars. As a result, Visage can comfortably execute his game plan of taking objectives early, leaving Shadow Demon feeling powerless to stop the pressure.
