How Meepo and Shadow Fiend perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Meepo and Shadow Fiend win 52.38% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,257 matches.
Setting up Shadowraze with Meepo's Earthbind can secure a kill, but their game plans often clash. Both heroes are extremely farm-dependent and want to occupy the same parts of the map at the same time. Meepo uses his clones to accelerate his farm by clearing multiple jungle camps, which is precisely the space Shadow Fiend needs to stack and build up his Necromastery souls. This direct competition for resources can slow down the critical item timings both heroes need to hit. Instead of enabling each other, they can find themselves fighting over farm, making it difficult for either one to build a decisive lead before the enemy team organizes.
