How Shadow Shaman and Snapfire perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Shadow Shaman and Snapfire win 52.44% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,313 matches.
You might think this duo lacks a good way to start a fight. The reality is that Snapfire completely solves Shadow Shaman's positioning problems. A well-placed Firesnap Cookie can launch Shaman directly onto a key target, letting him land a Hex or Shackles without needing Blink Dagger. While a target is held in place, Snapfire has a free window to unload her damage and land a perfect Mortimer Kisses. This combo for picking off heroes is strong from the laning stage onward, allowing them to secure kills across the map that neither hero could get alone. They create their own gank opportunities.

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.
