Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Shadow Shaman wins the Shadow Shaman vs Windranger matchup: Shadow Shaman beats Windranger in 53.99% of 105,910 ranked matches.
Thinking about picking Windranger into a Shadow Shaman forces you to reconsider how you'll survive. Your primary defensive tool, Windrun, offers no protection from his lockdown. Shadow Shaman can instantly use Hex, completely ignoring the evasion and disabling you. This perfectly sets up for a long-duration Shackles, holding you in place for his team to finish off. Using Focus Fire can be a death sentence, as it makes you a stationary and predictable target for his disables. Because Shadow Shaman's kit so effectively neutralizes the evasiveness Windranger relies on, he can consistently control and eliminate her throughout the game.
