How Shadow Shaman and Terrorblade perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Shadow Shaman and Terrorblade win 51.39% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 755 matches.
Picking this pair means you're trading defensive security for pure aggression. Shadow Shaman offers some of the best single-target lockdown in the game, letting Terrorblade get free hits on anyone caught by Hex or Shackles. This is great for pickoffs that can snowball a lead. When it comes time to push, Mass Serpent Ward and Metamorphosis melt towers very quickly. The problem is that Shadow Shaman has almost no way to save a focused Terrorblade from a coordinated gank. Once the enemy commits multiple heroes, a single disable isn't enough, and Terrorblade will miss having a support who can provide a save or reposition him.
