How Magnus and Medusa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Magnus and Medusa win 46.05% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 608 matches.
Accelerating Medusa's farm to an extreme degree is the main goal here. Magnus giving Medusa Empower lets her clear the entire map, combining cleave with Split Shot to melt waves and jungle camps alike. This strategy secures a massive gold lead for one hero, but it can also make your team's early game very passive and vulnerable. A lot of pressure falls on the other players to create space and survive until Medusa is ready to fight. While a big Reverse Polarity can set up a perfect teamfight for Medusa later, the game can already be lost if the enemy team successfully punishes this greedy approach before it pays off.
