How Luna and Shadow Shaman perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Luna and Shadow Shaman win 53.06% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,547 matches.
Forcing objectives after a successful gank is the core idea. Shadow Shaman provides extremely long lockdowns with Hex and Shackles, giving Luna more than enough time to get a kill. Afterwards, he can drop Mass Serpent Ward to pressure a tower. The enemy is forced to deal with the wards, which either results in a free tower for your team or creates a massive amount of space on the map. While the enemy is distracted, Luna can safely farm camps and lanes, accelerating her towards her core items. It's a straightforward but effective way to control the game's pace and give your carry the room she needs.
