Medusa has the best damage reduction spell in the game and any gank that comes her way is gonna have a hard time killing her as long as she has mana.
The thing that matters here, while morphling isnt really killable because he can morph strength and then wave away (and ulti away once he is lvl 6), ganks that dont immediately kill medusa usually result in the ganking parties death because of her ultimate, and killing her fast isnt easy.

You cant dive medusa into the tower ever, because you will get ultied and backup tps are gonna rip you apart.
Morphling has more mobility thought thats true.

The thing is Morphling has high midgame magic damage dealing ability and is powerful in midgame teamfights, which is what makes him suitable for the heavily midgame teamfight-oriented way the game is right now.

Medusa requires a much slower tempo as her midgame teamfighting ability is much weaker, which makes her incompatible with the way competitive DotA is played right now.


Exactly, incompatible with the way dota 2 is being played RIGHT NOW.
She isnt in yet, thats why you dont see her.

There were already games in this international where morph was used in a slow strategy where he just farms and thus forces the enemy team to do something about him.
There is no reason why medusa wouldnt be able to do the exact same except better.

There is a variety of strategies being deployed right now this second anyways, there isnt one specific meta that would prohibit medusa from creating new strategies.

Except China/SEA are still playing DotA 1 extensively as well and she's not used there either?

Dusa isn't likely to come back without some drastic changes to the way the game is played in 6.75.

we've seen it twice at least, and neither time to any effect
no wait there was a huge play with a blind garg stun onto an invisible clinkz, but generally not to any great effect
