Strategy
Make use of your high base damage to secure last hits and denies.
A good combo is to use Hex followed by Mass Serpent Ward with Shackles.
You can pull nearby neutral or lane creeps to your Mass Serpent Wards after you made a move to get some extra gold.
If opponents are farming your Mass Serpent Wards, try to deny individual Serpent Wards with other Serpent Wards if you have the Chicken Fingers facet.
Take your time to farm up 
Blink Dagger or 
Aether Lens, so that you can cast you spells more easily in fights.
Initiate on enemies with your long lasting disables, so your allies can follow-up for a kill.
In certain games, 
Black King Bar can be great to get off a full duration Shackles on a key target on the enemy team.
Refresher Orb with the level 25 talent for Mass Serpent Wards in late game allow you to breach high ground and end the game.
Use portals to move around the map and setup kills with your lengthy disables.
Counter Strategy
Shadow Shaman has high base damage and a great nuke in Ether Shock. Avoid trading with him if you cannot stay outside his attack range while doing so.
Shadow Shaman has long lasting stuns but short cast range disables. Keep distance from him.
Shadow Shaman has high solo kill potential on level 6 with Mass Serpent Ward.
Shadow Shaman takes buildings down fast with Mass Serpent Ward. Organize defense quickly.
Focus Shadow Shaman in the fights as he provides a lot of control for his team.
Black King Bar, status resistance items, 
Linken's Sphere and 
Lotus Orb are great against Shadow Shaman.
Shadow Shaman is good at ratting your base especially with two charges of Mass Serpent Wards with
Refresher Orb.
Shadow Shaman does not die and turns into a chicken when hit with lethal damage. You will have to deal the killing blow on him again afterwards.
