Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden wins the Arc Warden vs Medusa matchup: Arc Warden beats Medusa in 54.59% of 2,352 ranked matches.
Trying to control the map against a farming Medusa feels like a race against the clock. Arc Warden excels at creating pressure with Tempest Double, forcing rotations and making her jungle less safe. Magnetic Field is also a huge asset, completely negating her team's physical damage inside the bubble. The main problem is that Arc Warden has a very hard time actually killing Medusa herself. Her Mana Shield makes her incredibly durable against his single-target burst, and Split Shot lets her clear out Spark Wraiths and illusions with ease. The game usually hinges on whether Arc Warden can create enough of a lead for his team before Medusa gets her core items and can simply run at his buildings.
