The rapier thing was funny, Razer drops it -> my team pings -> I'm like wut? Oh there's something there "divine rapier" hmm... took me like 30 seconds to pick it up and the ursa was just chilling right next to me attacking a rax or something -.- As I didn't really get a good answer in the chat channel, How good is Medusa currently in DotA? Any chance she'll become a viable pick in DotA2? Like from what I remember + from looking at her and comparing to current trends, she seems to fit quite well. Incredible laning, pushes well, get-out-of-jail-free card ult(just like Naga), really difficult to kill.. sustained AoE DPS with a high range(seems like a good secondary carry, maybe even Naga + Medusa). | ||

Your storm spirit could have rushed Sheepstick instead of orchid by the way. Your furion should have also gotten one eventually also, but storm spirit actually had the farm to rush one relatively quickly and secure your team the win or at least make Ursa far less of a threat. You seem to notice when everyone plays poorly besides yourself. | ||

She also requires a lot of farm to do any damage. I've not seen her picked in a long, long while; in fact, I don't think I've seen her picked in the last year. I suppose anything's possible but I don't expect to see her come back without a drastic metagame shift. | ||

The lone exception is Antimage, but Antimage's farm is safe, reliable, and fast, meaning that you can still consistently have the items to teamfight around 23-24 minutes (BFury+Manta). Most of the remaining carries in the pool don't farm this fast or are easier to shut down. Given how the current version of the game is very much centered around powerful midgame pushing/teamfighting heroes, carries that come online later than AM's 23-24 minutes are hard to justify. Medusa generally builds Linken as a farming item, and requires at least Manta after that to become teamfight relevant. She takes longer to hit her prime than 23-24 minutes. | ||

Dusa? Secondary carry? Dusa is argueably the hardest teamfight carry in the game together with void. So yea as mentioned, she needs a ton of farm. Dusa, the rapier queen. + Show Spoiler + Baller king is obviously the rapier king | ||

Dusa, the rapier queen. + Show Spoiler + Baller king is obviously the rapier king Hmm she just seemed like someone who shouldn't be the only carry and her focused dps is pretty low .-. However I guess a single black hole makes her penta.. What if you rush Battle Fury on medusa?  On September 09 2012 11:14 Blitzkrieg0 wrote: Shikyo playing Undying middle. This is going to be funny.

Ursa would have died to you trying to loot the rapier which is probably why he didn't go for it. He was oom and had like 10% health left while trying to heal off creeps. Of course, while all this was happening the creeps from middle and bottom were killing your towers/ancient so I doubt he really cares. Good thing you killed Puck while your ancient was dying.

How'd you like it? Reminds me why I stopped playing dota months ago. Luckily I don't run into such games much anymore because my MMR has increased I guess. Top 3 moments of the game

Linkens in itself can already be an offensive ietms just like mek can be used offensively. And linkens is gotten to farm on medusa, she needs a lot of items. But once she is farmed, you need to be ready to get that rapier, die, rebuy and get another rapier instantly. | ||
