How Death Prophet and Medusa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Medusa win 46.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,882 matches.
Trying to establish a game plan with these two cores can be awkward. Death Prophet wants to group up and force fights with Exorcism as soon as possible, creating pressure to take mid-game objectives. Medusa is on the opposite clock, preferring to avoid conflict and farm for a much later power spike. This fundamental difference in timing often pulls the team in two directions. While a good Stone Gaze can certainly set up for a strong Exorcism, the overall strategies clash. Either the game stalls out past DP's peak effectiveness, or Medusa is forced to fight before she has the items she needs to survive and contribute.
