Gosh can you imagine if Medusa was an INT hero instead... So much more abuse that way I think.

Orchid, Scythe, Atos, etc.

Some small QQ, I got flamed for playing a game with OD and getting Rod of Atos. I believe it's a cost efficient item. I got flamed because I didn't get force staff first.

Me be liking some of those items in the chest--actually, most of them me likes. I almost have an urge to get a key (if I managed to get a chest) and try my luck. Although, I have horrid luck so perhaps it would be a bad idea hehe.

I'm not sure that would actually be a good thing. You'd be far more reliant on mana shield which ends up making you far more squishy later on since you can't mana leech like you can lifesteal. Would definitely make Medusa a stronger mid game threat, but her hard carry power would become a joke pretty much. This all assuming that you also swapped the int and agility growths when you swapped the main stat.

Then could you enlighten us with what would be a good item build? I don't feel dusa's item build could be geared to an heroes in particular though maybe to the pace of the game...

Also the reason rod of atos isn't really very good is sure its nice stats and all but it doesn't actually do anything. The slow is nice but removable an is a long ways off from an actual cc ability.

I think thats the problem of medusa, you cant really not afk farming with her :< I dont see a teamfight medusa to become a divine holder.

tbh medu is really not that popular (at all) in pubs for years. Which is why i bitch about her appearance, some people truly like her as a hero (that's me) and most certainly coming from playing her in the war3's campaign/ladder game. Maybe is all good, valve knew nobody likes to play her anyway so they give us a shitty model.

I love when the opposing team decides to pick Medusa. It seems like no one knows how to play her right now, which makes the game easy for the other team

I'm sorry if this is the wrong section, I just started playing DotA 2 and am not familiar with the "costume" item system. I had finished a game sporadically and received some, "Mythic" Chain-Axe for... well Axe. Is this something of value?

Certain cosmetic items are sought after by collectors. People generally trade using treasure keys (the ones that open the chests) as a form of currency. Value really depends on the specific item.

Some items are valuable to certain people, and some aren't. I don't care about items, or pay attention to them, so they have no value to me at all. Most "Mythic" items are usually somewhat valuable among the item traders though.

Just played a 70-minute game where someone else's 0-17-20 Shadow Shaman was the most valuable player on our team.

And not in the backdoor sense, just the early game presence.
