A dusa game is when somebody picks dusa abd you have to play around her. Want to know de more eficient way to play around a medusa as a support. Sorry if it was not clear first time.
I figured picking vs and buildibg strong auras is a way to go. But i dint know if my ideas are entirely correct.
Go Io, farm bloodstone, heart, greaves, lotus orb, blademail and tether to Medusa all game. If they focus you just pop blademail, otherwise right click them as well. You move together as a unit and become the ultimate unstoppable force.
she's not drow, vs doesn't compliment her that well cus outside of skadi and maybe linkens she builds dmg items not stat items.
I think good supports are ones who can lockdown enemies cus medusa is really slow and won't have slows/catch until skadi. So heroes with big aoe catches are good like axe, tidehunter, earthshaker, maybe warlock. Enigma black hole with medusa raining down arrows could wipe a team.
Of course CM is really good for mana aura.
For lane support, just anything with a stun to escape. Medusa is pretty tanky so just protect her.
Diffusal, Continous DPS like Alch, CK if you can dodge her ult, Luna typically do very well vs her. Obviously AM and PL. If ur looking for a support to kill her I find heroes with a high number of lockdowns and mobility. Sky, Lion, EarthShaker. You remove her already shitty mobility and her team becomes surprisingly easy to kill. Or splitpushing.
dusa has trash winrate because shes awful against diffusal blade which is an insanely good item and she doesnt do any damage at almost every phase of the game
in 3k ppl get stoned all the time which makes ur damage decent, in 5k people turn around and theres so many push staffs than stone gaze is a way worse ult, the only cool thing about dusa is breaking hg because your team can just afk behind you and they have to initiate on this crazy tanky hero with the best turnaround ult in the game and probably an aegis
She's a shit hero, but if you were to support her, ideally she'd be sieging and pushing towers while your team stood back as backup, getting items like solar crest, glimmer, lotus etc. to keep her survivable. Teamfights are difficult as Medusa because the enemy can easily disengage as she lacks mobility, burst damage, and reliable disables. Just keep Medusa in front while you buff her, and if the enemy goes on anybody but Medusa, try and fight near her while surviving.
How do you adress her lack of damage in almost every stage of the game as a support? I mean, you pick shit like drums, vlad, crest to help her deal more damage? or you just focus on enchancing her suvivability?
You wait for her to build damage. Make space, make sure game goes 40+ minutes cus she will do a lot of dmg late.
Or you pick drow.
As a support just try disable whoever has manaburn on the enemy team. Also remember that arcane boots are basically like a heal for Medusa so use them when she gets low on mana.
Blademail is kinda good because of the way it interacts with mana shield. Blademail now returns damage before any reductions so it will reflect damage before its reduced by mana shield. A 100 damage pure damage nuke on Dusa with bladmail for example will reflect 100 damage to the enemy while medusa only takes 40 damage since mana shield absorbs 60% of it.
But Dusa isn't really viable this patch. Literally every aspect of the game has been changed in some way that makes her worse in the last few patches. She badly needs a buff (and a nerf to diffusal)
Dusa sucks. Diffusal rapes her and I've seen strength heroes also getting it in few games. Best thing to play dusa....first pick dusa and turn into support. Get mana boots blademail and other support stuff. She's best against illu heroes if get aghs. GG illu spammers with low cd snake
wellll... I mean sometimes you can last pick her and she's good to great. If enemy has no mana burners like nyx, invoker, am, and no great diffusal carries like pl, spec, void and no carries who will build diffusal just cus they see dusa like troll, then she's ok. Like vs idk sven, necro, earthshaker, lich, puck lineup? Just throwing out a random in meta lineup. She should actually be good vs necro cus if she has any mana left he's not killing her with ult and she can just build linkens.
It might be time they just remove her damage penalty on split shot.
They should make dusa keep atk modifier item effect on her split, as lv 25 talent perhaps?
Her talent is garbage
Dusa is shit this meta, even against heroes who she should counter like ck, she sucks ballz.
She needs too much farm to be viable in fights, and after that she has no lockdowns, what put her in team dependant hero, while it would be so bad hero itself, other aimilar heroes are just better
Medusa is strongest hero in game, and will always be. Venge and wd are Best Supports for dusa. drum and forcestaff are good items on Support to boost her mobility. Also Lotus is great so dusa can skip bkb more often.
Medusa is strongest hero? Spectre will rekt any hard carry in ultra late game scenario, Medusa and Morphling included
^spectre's dmg just falls off hard in the late game
she becomes tanky but a morph with mkb and silver edge just man fights her hard
she just burns a lot but her dmg output falls off
^is she?
When I play against her, I get rekted hard by her simply just sits there and dispersion kill us hard. My right click as (well, not so good) Sniper, Drow, or Medusa just kill my teammate around her. Also it takes forever just to kill her
Man spectre Medusa is love hate Relationship. If dusa just ults into spectre ulti all illus die instand. Also dusa can force spectre into an super retarded build if shes ahead.
Its my Favourit lineup tbh. Spectre vs dusa is very fun to play.
Medusa is bad even against a fucking bloodseeker, if bs' team has better teamfight potential or is ahead.
She does no damage, so you can just run at her with a diffusal and destroy her, if she ults, you look away, then ruin her once her ult is over.
Medusa is also bad against weaver diffu.
And morph diffu.
Actually she is bad against literally any carry that can fight for prolonged periods of time and either has mobility, sustain in a fight, or consistent and low cd lockdown.
spectre's dmg just falls off hard in the late game
her dmg can't fall off if she never have damage in the first place
stop thinking spectre is a traditional high dps carry, she deals damage in a different way than bursting people down
Actually she is bad against literally any carry that can fight for prolonged periods of time and either has mobility, sustain in a fight, or consistent and low cd lockdown.
A.k.a every single carry that is not garbage rn

Somehow when i play dusa i Deal more dmg than smurfing invoker.
Dusa is not the easiest hero to play its very much about items. Also you can buy rapier when ever you need it, its almost Core on her.
AFAIK, spectre damage in tf mainly comes from dispersion. More tanky she is, more damage she can dish
In solo pickoff, desolate comes into play
She's scary af if given space
