How Doom and Shadow Demon perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Doom and Shadow Demon win 40.09% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,609 matches.
Picking Doom and Shadow Demon together often feels like trying to solve the same problem twice, but with conflicting tools. Both heroes want to isolate and remove a key enemy from a teamfight. The problem is that their core abilities clash in practice. Using Disruption to set up a clean ultimate for Doom can be awkward, as it gives the enemy team time to react and reposition for a save. Worse, accidentally Disrupting a target that's already Doomed will shield them from your team's follow-up attacks. Both heroes also lack the hard stuns needed to hold a target down, creating situations where you use two major spells on one hero who simply walks away.
