How Arc Warden and Medusa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Medusa win 51.58% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,357 matches.
Protecting Medusa during a big teamfight is where you'd expect this to shine. Arc Warden’s Magnetic Field can be useful, giving her a safe spot to stand and fire off Split Shot. In return, a good Stone Gaze can hold enemies in place for the Tempest Double to attack freely. The core issue is that both of these heroes are incredibly farm-dependent and want to occupy the safest parts of the map for most of the game. Putting them on the same team creates a huge resource strain. If one of them falls behind, the whole strategy can collapse. The draft demands a lot from your other three heroes to create enough space for two such greedy cores.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
