Small sample: this pairing has only 59 ranked matches in the current window, so its win rate will swing more than deep-sample pairings as new games come in.
Why this works
Getting jumped by this pair often feels less scary than it looks. The target gets banished by Disruption, which seems like a good setup, but it creates an awkward pause. Meepo wants to instantly Poof and net a target, and that delay gives the enemy team a moment to react or reposition for a save. Meepo already brings his own lockdown with Earthbind, making the setup feel redundant and sometimes clunky. While Shadow Demon’s Demonic Purge can help lock down a key target, his damage comes from stacking Shadow Poison over time. This slow, sustained damage plan clashes with Meepo's goal of deleting one hero immediately and snowballing the map.
