How Juggernaut and Medusa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Juggernaut and Medusa win 36.15% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 213 matches.
Picking two hard carries feels like a solid late-game plan, but it often backfires with this duo. Both Juggernaut and Medusa are incredibly farm-dependent heroes, meaning they compete for the same limited resources across the map. This slows both of them down, delaying the power spikes that are supposed to win the game. In teamfights, their goals conflict. Medusa wants the enemy team to group up and fight into her Stone Gaze, creating a static battle. Juggernaut, on the other hand, wants to isolate a key target for Omnislash or use Blade Fury for aggressive repositioning. This clash in tempo usually leaves one of them unable to contribute effectively.
