General DiscussionMedusa dumb carry - easiest MMR

4k BrokeBack

Eziest carry of my life man dusa is ez to play but still most of the people are shit with her idk why
About that match... 1 hour game with spectre medusa void and silencer lategame is real

I guess because they build Linken on the hero. I never buy it unless the enemy has strong single target spells like ba trider or venge

I prefer spec even though she's weaker in lane, I prefer mobility/chaos to just "stand there and hit shit" medusa style.

If they had od/nyx/lion to burn your mana, medusa's gonna die so easily, unless u stone gaze and tp before u die, then again if you do that, you won't be killing the enemies

^ bkb is a thing and linkens may help too, but better counter is not picking dusa first like an idiot :P

People is bad with this hero cause they get kited, you cant get kited as dusa if someone run let him run and hit another hero, and if all run hit their buildings its so simple

My favorite safeline carry <3
Usually I don't play carry, but at times I took duza on the ~5k games, quite successfully (at least 50% winrate :D)

Idk how to beat antimage or tryhard invoker with duza (and sometimes slark/spectre with diffusal), if you aren't lastpicking.

Yeah, medu is meant to be last pick.

It's pretty easy to counter invoker, ask your supps to get 2 arcane boots, problem solved. Anw mid against invoker is pretty easy http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2098133246

@superbeaver how does od burn your mana? dusa is awesome against pure damage. you need to read up on mana shield :)

@rocket
except that od burns your int so your manapool gets lower and lower.

OD is not a counter for medu. OD is not like AM who can blink and immediately burns all the mana. Also OD cannot disenage teamfight so good as AM.

doesnt od's ult insta burn like 40% of duza's mana?

it does but an ulti on 160sec cooldown that doesn't go through bkb isn't really what i'd call a hard counter.

Kotl is actually more worrying than OD. Think twice before picking medu if enemy team got KOTL.

If you're a Medusa, KotL is basicall bloodseeker rofl.

TBH i am sure if your enemys didnt go stupid items like a sb on ta or a Prophet who cannot decide between pickoff/fight/or splitpush build, they could have won medusa is easy to kite with enough forcestaffes, glimmers.

And u r expecting to become a guy medusa associated with? like wk with hailrake or spectre with badman

^ Nope, I know I am definitely not an elite or any kind of such pro. And I don't want to have any hero associated with my namw. Just wanna share this series hoping it inspires ppl here to invent new ways/strats of playing.

Wow even in 4k they pick 3 hardcarries (fv played like one here), sucks

The best is waiting until the other team picks a couple carries then picking medusa so they insta lock am like noobs and have to offlane him or safe lane with no support. This seriously happens every game in 3k. Other team can have spectre and meepo and am still gets picked.

MoM bloodstone bkb rapier is the only good dusa build

Bloodstone build is good before the nerf. I used to build bs that time.

hey i played against a 4.3 dusa mid last game. she got shit on and their team couldnt leave fountain after 20 minutes.

i don't see why people don't just win the game early vs that. that said i avoid ranked ususally b/c people not in my stack have severe ASD, so i guess you can get away with it a lot.
