Great.Now,thoughts on medusa by someone who has seen the meta?
Needs new build. I like linkins gliepner and and a couple other picks.
Also going to lane with tangoes is bad. Bring a mango 🥭 😋 It's 200 EHP. And its 300 or 400, even 520 ehp with talent. And she really likes stacking Lotus 🧘‍♀️. Mangoes and lotus are like cheese on Medusa.

Weak versus crit based carries as it's fastest way to eat through her mana shield. Crit >diffusal past mid game for depletion of shield. Not sure where it pulls ahead but it does. Pure crit though, mana shield doesn't care about minus armor so deso>AC

I heard pro scene is currently in flames because of her. She became a first pick/ban over night. She got countered once with a nyx, but they also to stun her for like 4 seconds to get things done.

Currently she most optimal counter play to her is for every team member to make diffudal blades and just pray her mana burns fast enough.

Well probably see a nerf soon.

Even if multiple cores go diffusal it isn't enough. High level Pubs and even pro games / tournaments are seeing her win at a greater than 60% rate even if the enemy is willing to buy diffusals.

40 mp is simply too much of a drop in the ocean compared to what she has, not to mention bkb completely negates the manaburn.

They overbuffed her to stupid levels as a knee-jerk reaction to people not immediately stomping with her new version.

They would either need to make diffusal's upgrade have a max % burn component (making it Anti-Mage-lite), or they need to make a significant nerf to how much mana snake provides, as she EASILY gain 1k mana on a 7 sec CD, which translates to more than 5k eHP with the lv 25 talent, or about 4k without it, and that 1k mana gain example is on the low end for many fights.

Perhaps it’s an attempt to make anti mage picked more
How to win EASY with medusa ?
Pick medusa, and take DIvine Rapier
Someone else take IO and take fully mana item and always link medusa (So medusa NEVER lose mana)

Game end before 15 min.
