Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Shadow Shaman wins the Shadow Shaman vs Sven matchup: Shadow Shaman beats Sven in 53.40% of 1,749 ranked matches.
Trying to fight as Sven against a good Shadow Shaman is incredibly frustrating. You'll activate God's Strength and your BKB, ready to end the fight, only to get instantly disabled by Hex, which goes right through spell immunity. While you're a chicken, your BKB timer is ticking away uselessly. Even if you survive that, Shadow Shaman can follow up with Shackles once your BKB expires. His Mass Serpent Ward also makes it a nightmare to push or fight into, creating a massive obstacle that forces your team to split focus or retreat. Shadow Shaman simply has too many ways to nullify the short window where Sven is meant to be strongest.
