How Ogre Magi and Shadow Demon perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ogre Magi and Shadow Demon win 45.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 339 matches.
Picking these two supports together can create an awkward game plan that pulls your team in different directions. Ogre Magi wants to be on the front foot, enabling a right-click carry with Bloodlust and brawling up close. Shadow Demon, on the other hand, plays from the back, looking for saves with Disruption or setting up kills on isolated targets. Their abilities don't have much natural overlap. Disruption isn't a great setup for Ogre's instant Fireblast, and Bloodlust does very little for Shadow Demon himself. The end result is two heroes trying to execute different strategies, which often leaves one of them out of position and the team without a cohesive early game.
