Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist wins the Alchemist vs Medusa matchup: Alchemist beats Medusa in 58.14% of 172 ranked matches.
Feeling the map shrink as Medusa is a common experience in this matchup. Alchemist's entire kit is built to accelerate his farm, allowing him to hit a game-breaking item spike long before she can. He then uses this advantage to run at her team and force fights. Even with Mana Shield active, Medusa is very vulnerable to the armor reduction from Acid Spray, which lets Alchemist tear through her health pool with physical attacks. This pressure makes it nearly impossible for her to find the space she needs to farm. Alchemist can effectively end the game during his peak timing, well before Medusa has the items to properly carry a teamfight.
