How Leshrac and Shadow Fiend perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Leshrac and Shadow Fiend win 47.93% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,939 matches.
Drafting both of these heroes together often forces one into an uncomfortable role. Leshrac and Shadow Fiend are classic midlaners who want to accelerate their farm, hit an item timing, and then take over the map. Forcing one to a side lane can seriously stunt their game plan, as they compete for the same pockets of farm to stay relevant. Their damage profiles are also very similar, focusing on heavy magic burst in the mid-game. This makes it straightforward for enemies to counter-itemize with magic resistance, limiting the impact of both cores at once. Without a strong initiator, Leshrac struggles to land Split Earth and Shadow Fiend can't get a good Requiem of Souls.
