How Disruptor and Shadow Demon perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Disruptor and Shadow Demon win 44.08% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,148 matches.
Setting up a kill with both heroes can be awkward. Shadow Demon’s Disruption is a great setup tool, but it also makes the target immune to all damage. This directly conflicts with a common Disruptor combo, as a Disrupted enemy will be safe from the damage and silence of Static Storm. While you can try to time the spells sequentially, this often gives the enemy a window to react. Both heroes also want to play a similar role in fights: catching a key target for the team to focus. This redundancy means they don't always build on each other's strengths, and laning together can feel like having two similar tools without enough damage to secure kills.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
