Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Shadow Shaman wins the Shadow Shaman vs Ursa matchup: Shadow Shaman beats Ursa in 57.36% of 1,426 ranked matches.
Getting caught by a Hex from Shadow Shaman is often a death sentence for Ursa. He can't activate Enrage while polymorphed, so he's stuck for the initial disable and vulnerable to a follow-up. Even if Ursa anticipates the Hex and uses Enrage first, the combined duration of Hex and Shackles is usually enough to kill him anyway, despite the status resistance. This forces Ursa to build an early BKB, which slows down his core item progression and lets Shadow Shaman's team take over the mid-game. Later, a well-placed Mass Serpent Ward makes it very hard for Ursa to move through a teamfight or focus a target without getting trapped and killed.
