Medusa Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Medusa in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Medusa beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Medusa is a hyper-late-game carry whose Mana Shield makes her absurdly hard to kill and whose Stone Gaze turns a whole team to stone. She crushes immobile heroes once online: Timbersaw, Templar Assassin and Beastmaster all lose the scaling war. Medusa is countered by mana burn and break: Anti-Mage shreds her Mana Shield with Mana Break and Mana Void, while Nyx Assassin burns her mana and Tidehunter locks her down. Draft tip: Medusa is a game-ending late carry into low-mobility drafts; she's hard-countered by Anti-Mage, Nyx, and mana-burn line-ups that beat her shield.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Medusa hardest are Slark, Lich and Sniper — Medusa wins only 31.6%, 33.3% and 33.4% of ranked matches against them.
