How Shadow Demon and Weaver perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Shadow Demon and Weaver win 36.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 136 matches.
Saving Weaver with Disruption seems like a good idea until the enemy team repositions and kills him the moment he reappears. Weaver is usually better off relying on his own mobility and Time Lapse to escape danger. In lane, the two don't pair well either. Shadow Demon’s abilities tend to push the wave, which makes it harder for Weaver to farm safely near his tower. This lack of early pressure and kill threat often continues into the mid-game, where the duo struggles to hold anyone in place. Without reliable lockdown from a support, Weaver has a very hard time sticking to targets and securing kills.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
