Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.

Trying to burst Medusa as Skywrath Mage often feels like you're throwing spells into a void. Your entire combo, from Ancient Seal to Mystic Flare, is designed to delete one hero instantly. Against Medusa, this initial magical burst gets almost entirely absorbed by her Mana Shield. You can easily find yourself out of resources with your target still very much alive. Later on, if she catches you with Stone Gaze, there's little you can do. You’re forced to turn away or become a statue, giving her an easy kill. While you can still be effective against her teammates, Medusa herself is a tough nut to crack without a lot of help from your team.
