How Luna and Shadow Fiend perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Luna and Shadow Fiend win 46.93% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,743 matches.
Splitting the map's resources between two greedy cores often leaves one of them under-farmed and ineffective. Both Luna and Shadow Fiend need to occupy the safest and most lucrative farm locations for a significant portion of the early and mid-game. They accelerate with abilities like Moon Glaives and Shadowraze respectively, but this requires uncontested space that they end up competing for. The lineup also tends to lack a durable frontliner or a reliable initiator. Without strong setup, Shadow Fiend struggles to land a decisive Requiem of Souls, and Luna can be easily jumped and killed before her damage ramps up, making teamfights awkward and difficult to execute.
