How Medusa and Snapfire perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Snapfire win 49.72% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 6,165 matches.
Forcing a Medusa forward with Firesnap Cookie gives her a surprise initiation tool she otherwise completely lacks. It can let her jump into the enemy team to land a perfect Stone Gaze, or simply close the distance to a fleeing target. The stun on impact guarantees a few free right-clicks. Defensively, the same ability can be used to pull Medusa out of a bad spot. This mobility and lockdown from Snapfire helps patch a major hole in the carry's kit, letting her play a bit more aggressively than she normally could.
The overall game plan revolves around combining their ultimates in teamfights. A well-placed Mortimer Kisses makes it dangerous for enemies to move, forcing them to either run through fire or hold their ground. This creates a perfect setup for Stone Gaze, as opponents are punished no matter which way they face. However, this relies on both heroes having their ultimates available and the enemy team grouping up. If the fight is scattered or the enemy can easily disengage, the combo doesn't accomplish much, leaving Medusa vulnerable.
