Why this works
Picking these two heroes together means you constantly have to decide whose plan you're following. The main issue is Disruption; Shadow Demon's primary setup tool takes a target out of the fight entirely. This is a disaster for Muerta, who needs to continuously attack her target to get Gunslinger procs or make use of her ultimate, Pierce the Veil. A "saved" enemy is immune to all of Muerta's damage. Even using Disruption defensively on Muerta is a problem, as it stops her from attacking during key moments. The potential damage amp from Soul Catcher doesn't make up for the fact that their core abilities work against each other.
