Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Vengeful Spirit wins the Shadow Shaman vs Vengeful Spirit matchup: Vengeful Spirit beats Shadow Shaman in 50.49% of 3,084 ranked matches.
Taking objectives often comes down to a tense standoff between these two. Shadow Shaman wants to plant Mass Serpent Ward and secure a tower, but Vengeful Spirit is perfectly equipped to break that siege. A quick Nether Swap can pull Shaman himself into a bad spot, turning his aggression into a fatal mistake. On the other hand, Vengeful Spirit has to be careful, because if she or a core gets caught by a full Hex and Shackles combo, her single stun isn't enough to break it. The outcome really depends on which hero gets the jump; the fight is decided by whether the save from Vengeful Spirit comes before the lockdown from Shadow Shaman is complete.
