Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa wins the Medusa vs Queen of Pain matchup: Medusa beats Queen of Pain in 54.17% of 456 ranked matches.
Trying to assassinate a key target is Queen of Pain's main job in a teamfight, but this plan falls apart against Medusa. Even a full burst combo including Sonic Wave often isn't enough to break through a farmed Medusa's Mana Shield before she can react. The bigger problem is Stone Gaze, which completely punishes Queen of Pain's Blink initiation. She risks being instantly turned to stone and focused down the moment she appears. This forces QoP to play from the edges of the fight where she is far less effective, while Medusa is free to stand her ground and whittle down the entire enemy team.
