Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Grimstroke wins the Grimstroke vs Medusa matchup: Grimstroke beats Medusa in 52.35% of 8,753 ranked matches.
Draining Grimstroke of his mana with Mystic Snake is Medusa's most consistent advantage in this matchup. The spell can leave him unable to contribute, preventing him from setting up his own powerful combos. This pressure is key, because Grimstroke’s Soulbind is otherwise an excellent tool for handling a farmed Medusa. By linking her to a more fragile ally, his team can focus down a single target to kill two heroes, bypassing some of Medusa's incredible tankiness from Mana Shield. The fight often comes down to which hero's plan works first: does Medusa’s team poke Grimstroke out, or does he land the perfect ultimate to initiate a fight?
