How Shadow Shaman and Tiny perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Shadow Shaman and Tiny win 43.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,090 matches.
Trying to burst down one hero can get surprisingly awkward with this pair. Shadow Shaman's power comes from holding someone perfectly still with Hex and a long-duration Shackle, creating a window for his team to attack. Tiny's classic Avalanche and Toss combo, however, is all about displacement. A friendly Tiny tossing the target that Shadow Shaman is actively shackling will immediately break the channel, wasting one of the longest disables in the game.
This core conflict forces the team to play with extra care. During ganks, Tiny has to consciously hold his Toss, waiting for Shackle to finish, which can feel clunky and give the enemy time to react. While both heroes are good at pushing towers, their teamfight potential is less than the sum of its parts. They want to accomplish the same thing—deleting a key target—but their kits can actively interfere with one another without precise coordination.
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.
