How Bloodseeker and Medusa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Medusa win 52.49% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,145 matches.
Trying to deal with a Bloodraged Medusa can be tricky. The damage amplification from Bloodrage works very well with her Split Shot, and Mana Shield helps her absorb the downside of taking more damage herself. This can accelerate her farm and make her a monster in teamfights. Bloodseeker can also use Rupture to hold a key target in place for her. The main issue is that both heroes require a lot of resources. They can end up competing for safe farm across the map, slowing down their respective item timings. This shared need for gold often means the duo's potential comes online too late, if at all.
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.
