How Medusa and Sven perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Sven win 46.78% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,381 matches.
Putting these two heroes on one team creates a very greedy draft. Both Sven and Medusa need a massive amount of gold and experience to hit their item timings, which often leads to them competing for safe farm across the map. While Sven's Storm Hammer can help Medusa land a few more hits, he doesn't offer the kind of peel or setup she truly needs to dominate a fight. Medusa's Stone Gaze can give Sven a window to attack, but the core problem remains: the team's resources are split between two heroes who want to be the single late-game win condition. This forces your other teammates into a very sacrificial, space-creating role from the first minute.
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.
