Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Visage wins the Shadow Shaman vs Visage matchup: Visage beats Shadow Shaman in 51.77% of 10,829 ranked matches.
Getting jumped by Visage and his Familiars often spells death for Shadow Shaman, who lacks the health to survive the sudden burst. Gravekeeper's Cloak also makes it difficult to chip away at Visage from a distance before committing. However, this fight is all about who gets the first move. A well-timed Hex from Shadow Shaman can completely bypass Visage's defenses, setting him up to be killed before his birds can do anything. The fight for control is constant; Mass Serpent Wards can zone the Familiars, but the Familiars can also be tasked with destroying the wards. It really comes down to which hero finds the better initiation.
