How Enigma and Shadow Demon perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Shadow Demon win 41.24% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 97 matches.
Opposing teams often feel like they have an easy out from what should be a deadly combination. The setup for Black Hole using Disruption is notoriously awkward, as a mistimed cast will make the target immune and can accidentally save them from the entire ultimate. Beyond that specific failure point, both heroes are quite vulnerable on their own. Enigma and Shadow Demon both want to play far back in a fight and lack any real mobility or escape. This makes them a fragile duo that can be initiated on and burst down before they get a chance to cast their important spells, turning a potential fight into a disaster.
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.
