How Meepo and Shadow Shaman perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Meepo and Shadow Shaman win 54.39% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 421 matches.
Holding a target still for Meepo to drop all his clones on is the name of the game here. Shadow Shaman provides some of the longest single-target lockdown available with Hex and Shackles. This long duration is exactly what Meepo needs to guarantee his full Poof combo lands without the target escaping. Once the initial Poof hits, follow-up Earthbinds from multiple clones mean the enemy is never getting away. This combination turns any hero caught out of position into a free kill from the moment Shadow Shaman gets his levels.
This pickoff potential accelerates the entire game. After Meepo and Shadow Shaman secure a kill, they can immediately transition to pushing. Dropping Mass Serpent Ward on a tower melts it before the enemy can respond, especially with a dead core. The game plan becomes a cycle of finding a target, deleting them, and taking an objective. The enemy is forced to group up early to survive, but this often leaves parts of their jungle unsafe, which only helps Meepo farm faster and snowball even harder.
