Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Medusa wins the Bane vs Medusa matchup: Medusa beats Bane in 50.28% of 5,259 ranked matches.
Catching Medusa with Fiend's Grip is Bane's entire game plan, setting her up to be burst down by his team. The challenge is actually making it happen. An alert Medusa can cast Stone Gaze the moment Bane commits, forcing his entire team to turn away or become petrified. This dynamic turns fights into a tense waiting game where whichever hero acts first often dictates the outcome. While Brain Sap provides some pure damage against her Mana Shield, Bane is a very fragile hero. If he fails to get his ultimate off on the right target, he becomes easy food for Medusa once she has a few items and can hunt him down with Split Shot.
