How Elder Titan and Shadow Shaman perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Elder Titan and Shadow Shaman win 53.37% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,679 matches.
Drafting a hero like Elder Titan often raises the question of how to guarantee his big spells land. Pairing him with a Shadow Shaman answers that perfectly. An initial Hex or Shackle is all it takes for Elder Titan to channel Echo Stomp without interruption. The resulting sleep then gives Shadow Shaman a massive, safe window to place Serpent Wards and fully channel his own lockdown. The armor reduction from Astral Spirit also makes those wards hit surprisingly hard, turning a simple gank into a secured kill and often a tower shortly after. It's a reliable setup for two very powerful teamfight spells.
