How Medusa and Puck perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Puck win 44.42% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,434 matches.
Catching multiple heroes in a Dream Coil is a strong setup, but the follow-up from Medusa can feel a little disconnected. She still has to walk into the fight to apply her physical damage, and the initial stun from the coil wears off quickly. While Puck provides excellent catch and magical burst, the hero is too elusive to offer the defensive saves or frontline presence Medusa needs to survive being targeted. This pairing often results in two heroes with different ideas about how a fight should go. Puck wants to create chaos and play on the edges, while Medusa wants to stand her ground behind a durable team that can protect her, which Puck is not built to do.
