Why this works
Saving a low-health ally gets awkward when Disruption and Shallow Grave are on the same team. You can't heal a banished target, and banishing a Graved hero wastes the protection. This core tension extends to their overall roles. Both Dazzle and Shadow Demon are defensive, backline supports who want to win long, drawn-out fights by sustaining their carry. They offer very little initiation or reliable lockdown, making it hard to dictate the game's pace. Against lineups that can dive and burst a single hero, this pairing struggles to create space or secure kills, often leaving their own cores exposed to focused aggression.
