Shadow Shaman Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Shadow Shaman in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Shadow Shaman beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Shadow Shaman is a lockdown-and-push support whose Shackles + Hex double-disable chains a hero for ages, and whose Mass Serpent Wards shred buildings. He dominates immobile, low-escape heroes: Timbersaw, Tinker and Nature's Prophet get chained to death. He's countered by illusion/summon armies and scalers that ignore single-target lock: Spectre, Meepo and Phantom Lancer bring too many bodies for two disables to handle. Draft tip: Shadow Shaman is a premium pickoff + push pick into single-target-reliant drafts; he's weaker into illusion/summon comps and late-game hard-carries.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Shadow Shaman hardest are Wraith King, Phantom Lancer and Meepo — Shadow Shaman wins only 44.6%, 46.0% and 46.3% of ranked matches against them.
