How Medusa and Ogre Magi perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Ogre Magi win 48.73% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 866 matches.
Casting Bloodlust on Medusa addresses her core weaknesses of low mobility and slow attack speed. The extra speed allows her to farm faster with Split Shot and better position herself in teamfights. Before that, Ogre Magi provides a very safe lane for her, using his durable body and reliable stun to deter aggression and peel for her. This protection is crucial for getting Medusa through her vulnerable early game. Ogre's entire kit serves to accelerate her farm and keep her alive, allowing her to hit her item timings more consistently and take over the game.
