How Medusa and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Wraith King win 51.23% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 488 matches.
Putting these two cores on the same team creates a huge problem for the enemy's target priority. Medusa wants to stand back and whittle everyone down with Split Shot, protected by Mana Shield. Wraith King can stand in front of her, providing a stun and forcing enemies to deal with him. If they try to ignore Wraith King to get to the backline, he punishes them. If they focus him, they have to burn through Reincarnation while Medusa gets free reign to use Stone Gaze and melt their team.
The game plan is to survive the laning stage and then group up as a five-man wrecking ball. Fights become a nightmare for opponents. They have to commit massive damage and control to kill Wraith King twice, all while Medusa hits their entire team. Using Stone Gaze as enemies are slowed by Reincarnation’s effect is a classic combo that leaves them helpless. The other team’s only real hope is to get huge pickoffs before a fight starts or try to out-farm two hard carries, which is rarely a winning strategy.
