Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Medusa wins the Medusa vs Templar Assassin matchup: Medusa beats Templar Assassin in 54.87% of 7,385 ranked matches.
Executing Templar Assassin's normal game plan is incredibly difficult against Medusa. TA wants to hit her timing and explode a key hero, but Mana Shield makes Medusa fundamentally resilient to that kind of single-target burst damage. An attempted gank on Medusa often goes sour, leaving Templar Assassin out of position when Stone Gaze comes out. This completely disrupts the tempo TA needs to control the map. While TA is looking for openings, Medusa uses Split Shot to accelerate her farm and hits her own timings much more reliably. Late-game fights then feel hopeless as TA can't get through Medusa's defenses.
