Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle wins the Dazzle vs Medusa matchup: Dazzle beats Medusa in 50.68% of 2,192 ranked matches.
Facing a Dazzle can be uncomfortable for a Medusa because he undermines her core strength of being unkillable. The armor reduction from his abilities makes her surprisingly fragile to physical damage, making her Mana Shield feel less effective. In teamfights, a timely Shallow Grave denies Medusa the final killing blow on a key target, which is often how she wins long engagements—by outlasting one enemy at a time. This can force her to switch targets or risk the fight turning completely. That said, this matchup is far from decided. Medusa can still overwhelm with farm and Split Shot damage, and a good Stone Gaze will punish a team that overcommits to protect a Graved ally.
