Shadow Shaman Synergies (7.41f)
Best heroes to pair with Shadow Shaman in Dota 2 7.41f, and the worst pairings, ranked by team win rate over ranked matches.
Shadow Shaman delivers one of the longest single-target locks in the game plus a wave of pushing Wards — he wants burst follow-up and a tower-siege plan. He pairs best with snowball carries and AoE: Spectre and Wraith King finish whoever he Shackles, while Dawnbreaker and Phoenix provide the front line and AoE for fights. Tidehunter loves the grouped pushes. Give Shadow Shaman a carry that punishes a locked hero, and his Wards take the map.
