How Medusa and Phantom Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Medusa and Phantom Assassin win 46.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 8,043 matches.
Trying to fit both Medusa and Phantom Assassin into one draft creates a serious resource problem. Both heroes are greedy carries at heart, meaning they need a ton of safe farm to come online and buy their core items. When they're on the same team, they're forced to split the map, which slows them both down significantly. Your team will have a huge power trough in the mid-game because neither hero has the items they need to fight effectively. Even in the late game, their kits don't really help each other; Phantom Assassin wants to jump and burst a single target, while Medusa wants to stand her ground. They don't provide the control the other needs.
