How Medusa and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Timbersaw win 41.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 197 matches.
Having two heroes that want to occupy the same parts of the map creates a lot of problems. Timbersaw needs to farm waves and jungle camps with trees to be effective, which is often the same space a farming Medusa wants to secure for herself. This forces one of them into less efficient areas, slowing down the item progression for the entire team. Furthermore, their timings don't line up well. Timbersaw wants to fight early and often, but Medusa needs a long, quiet period to come online. The team ends up stuck, unable to apply early pressure or secure a strong late-game position.
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.
