There definitely is no question about it, but the radiance build is by no means terrible or inferior which people keep saying. They are different, but the radiance isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination. Also sorry for coming off as a dick, I was in a bad mood. Well I don't think that radiance is bad. I just think that it is a higher risk higher reward build. But my opinion is that the higher reward is not as significant as the greater risk faced. Something like diminishing returns, considering that non radiance builds still obtain an absurdly high farm rate and split push potential, while having a much lesser risk due to not needing to grind a timely radiance out. And this aspect is why I feel there's little reason to go for radiance when you can achieve slightly inferior but comparable results with much greater ease. | ||

Don't assume just 10 people attack-move each other. | ||

This is the reason why tb is broken. You can have the fattest of heroes, all the advantage, but if tb is online and your lineup can't defend tb split push in all 3 lanes, then tb pretty much wins the game by himself. | ||

My answer is based on the skills medusa has to deal with illusions, not execution or draft dependant stuff. Your argument is based on the assumption that terrorblade can reach a stage in every game, where he can push all three lanes and lock the enemy in there base. I think if that happens in a game, the game was lost before he even began doing that tactic. | ||

I tried the non radiance build last night, and it definitely has its merits. You can put a lot more pressure on the other team from minute 13-22ish compared to radiance build, which is great if you need more early game impact. | ||

Terrorblade farms absurdly fast, and you don't need a lot of farm to be farming both the jungle and a lane early on. As you get a little fatter, keeping 2 lanes pushed isn't even a problem, and eventually you can push all 3 lanes. Again you don't need huge farm on TB to accomplish that. Sure medusa can deal with illusions well, but she can only defend 1 lane of it. Alone Medusa is hardly a counter to TB. She needs other allies that can also deal with the hero. | ||

Your best bet is farming a legion on a team with a storm and elder Titan or something. Good supports are lion and lockdown in general. | ||

Your best bet is farming a legion on a team with a storm and elder Titan or something. Good supports are lion and lockdown in general. I believe thats questionable/debateable. If you look at the 6.82 "datdotadata", you will see that the gametime on terrorblade is slightly longer then medusa or atleast similar and that medusas winrate is above 60% and TB's winrate is 47,5%. On dotabuff you can see that at amateur terrorblade also has a lower winrate then medusa so the proscene isnt an exception here. The myth that medusa is "ultra ultra late game" seems "myth busted" as soon as you address her two weaknesses in the draft. | ||

On the subject of TB, the biggest problem with the hero seems to be that a hero shouldn't be allowed to be that good without items, and still epic with them, or, in other words, he doesn't really seem to have a power curve. Strong early physical DPS is fine, so is strong late game DPS, but together they kinda create a broken mess of a hero. I dunno if he needs a rework though, I think a strong nerf on metamorphosis should suffice, something like a huge increase in mana cost and a decrease in the damage it gives would probably be enough. And/or scaling the damage taken on his illusions per level. Sunder seems fine to me, lots of carries have abilities like that (time lapse, reincarnation, fucking song of the siren). It may be a problem when viewed with the rest of the hero, but if that's the case a numbers tweak usually seems to suffice. I'm not icefrog though, so I don't really know. Lastly, I'm not sure that the whole unstoppable late game rat monster is really a huge problem, lots of heroes are like that and they're fine, he just shouldn't push towers like he does at 20 minutes if he wants to be able to do that as well. | ||

I didnt say medusa is good at stopping terrorblade or a naga splitpush. But in a teamfight, i dont see a reason why medusa cant win, can you please explain why she is bad before terrorblade gets 6 slotted? | ||
