How Shadow Shaman and Zeus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Shadow Shaman and Zeus win 51.87% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 63,556 matches.
Choosing this duo gives your team a simple, brutal way to remove a key hero before a fight begins. Shadow Shaman provides an incredibly long lockdown with either Hex or a full-duration Shackles, creating a stationary target. That hero is a free kill for Zeus, who has more than enough time to unload his entire magical arsenal. This consistent pickoff potential lets your team control the map and then translate that advantage into objectives. After a successful gank, Shadow Shaman can drop Mass Serpent Ward to secure a tower. Even if a target somehow survives the initial burst, Zeus can often finish the job from anywhere on the map with Thundergod's Wrath.
