In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Vengeful Spirit win 49.39% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 490 matches.
Saving a farmed Medusa from a gank is often the play that seals the game. Vengeful Spirit can instantly Nether Swap a caught-out Medusa to safety, sacrificing herself to save the team's entire win condition. This defensive backup is huge for a hero who hates being jumped. Offensively, Vengeance Aura provides a constant damage bonus that significantly boosts Medusa's Split Shot output in teamfights. Combined with the armor reduction from Wave of Terror on a primary target, Vengeful Spirit gives her carry both the protection and the extra power needed to take over the map and close things out reliably.
