Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa wins the Medusa vs Primal Beast matchup: Medusa beats Primal Beast in 51.21% of 1,402 ranked matches.
Trying to lock down Medusa with Pulverize presents a real challenge for Primal Beast. His whole plan revolves around charging in and holding her still for his team, but it rarely works out so cleanly. Once Medusa has a Black King Bar, the channel won't even affect her. Before that, she can often react with Stone Gaze, which will stun Primal Beast mid-Pulverize and cancel the spell if he is facing her. Even if he lands it perfectly, her Mana Shield makes her so durable that she can sometimes survive the full duration. The outcome really depends on who gets the jump and who uses their core abilities first.
