How Dragon Knight and Medusa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Medusa win 49.05% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,794 matches.
Facing this duo can feel like a race against the clock. The potential for a late-game siege is high, with an unkillable Dragon Knight hitting towers while Medusa provides overwhelming teamfight damage. The main issue is that both heroes want to play the same game: farm steadily, avoid early fights, and hit their timings together. This creates a very greedy lineup that can be run over before it comes online. The team often lacks a proactive hero to create space or secure early objectives. While Dragon Knight’s Dragon Tail provides reliable setup for Medusa, the draft as a whole tends to be too passive, giving opponents a wide-open window to take control of the map and prevent this slow-moving push from ever getting started.
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.
