How Medusa and Outworld Destroyer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Outworld Destroyer win 50.20% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 249 matches.
Picking these two cores together banks everything on the late game. Outworld Destroyer’s Astral Imprisonment is a great defensive tool for Medusa, buying her crucial seconds to escape a gank or reposition under pressure. This helps her farm safely toward her core items. However, the lineup becomes very greedy. Both heroes need significant farm and levels to come online, putting immense pressure on the rest of the team to create space and survive the mid-game. While a Stone Gaze can set up a nice Sanity's Eclipse, the game is often decided by whether this duo gets the time they need to scale, making it a risky proposition.
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.
