How Medusa and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Medusa and Templar Assassin win 44.25% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,512 matches.
Fighting for the same jungle camps around the mid-game is the core issue here. Both Medusa and Templar Assassin are extremely greedy heroes that need a ton of farm to hit their timings. Templar Assassin wants to accelerate and take over the map after a good laning stage, but Medusa requires that same space and farm to build up her core items. This often leaves the team with two under-farmed cores instead of one strong one. By the time Medusa is ready to join fights with Stone Gaze, Templar Assassin's own window for dominating the game with her physical burst might already be closing, leading to an awkward power trough.
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.
