How Medusa and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Riki win 50.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 208 matches.
Farming for Medusa becomes much safer with a Riki on the team. His constant roaming forces opponents to play defensively and spend heavily on detection, buying her the crucial time needed to hit her item timings. Once they group, their ultimates work together exceptionally well. Riki can drop Smoke Screen on anyone trying to jump Medusa, silencing them and causing their attacks to miss. Conversely, Stone Gaze forces enemies to either get petrified or turn their backs, giving Riki a perfect opening to attack freely. Medusa provides a durable front line that draws attention, while Riki dismantles the distracted enemy team from the shadows.
