How Jakiro and Shadow Demon perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Jakiro and Shadow Demon win 36.21% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 174 matches.
Committing two support slots to Jakiro and Shadow Demon often leaves a team feeling slow and one-dimensional. The core issue is that they have overlapping jobs without covering each other’s weaknesses. Both heroes are vulnerable to being initiated on and lack the burst or hard, instant lockdown to deal with mobile enemies. While Shadow Demon can use Disruption to set up for Jakiro's Ice Path, this combination is heavily telegraphed and gives opponents ample time to prepare a counter-play or escape. The duo’s damage is primarily dealt over time, meaning they struggle to secure kills quickly, allowing enemies to reposition, get a spell off, or be saved by their own team.
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.
