Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tidehunter wins the Medusa vs Tidehunter matchup: Tidehunter beats Medusa in 56.25% of 352 ranked matches.
Feeling your damage disappear as Medusa is the main problem in this matchup. Tidehunter can walk right up to your team, and a single Anchor Smash will gut your physical output, making it difficult to chew through his massive health pool. He's also a primary initiator who excels at finding and catching you. A good Ravage can lock you down for its full duration, preventing you from using Stone Gaze for counter-initiation and leaving you helpless. Tidehunter forces short, decisive engagements where he can control the primary target, which is the exact opposite of the long, drawn-out battle Medusa needs to win.
