How Shadow Shaman and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Shadow Shaman and Tidehunter win 50.61% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,887 matches.
Picking both of these heroes gives your team a clear and simple plan for winning fights. Tidehunter’s Ravage creates a massive window for Shadow Shaman to get his full combo off without being interrupted. You can drop Serpent Wards on stunned enemies and then use Shackles to hold a priority target down for even longer. This one-two punch is also fantastic for securing objectives after a fight. Once Ravage lands, the wards can melt a tower or Roshan while the enemy is either dead or recovering. Shadow Shaman often needs a strong frontline to play behind, and Tidehunter provides that perfectly, soaking up damage and creating space for him to work.
