DOTA 2: Counter the Top Meta Heroes

#3 Medusa

MEDUSA

Medusa is a kind of hero that if brought to the late game will always win the game alone. So the main idea behind countering a Medusa is to pick heroes that can force her to fight early or pressure her early.

1. Huskar - First counter is Huskar. If you see your enemy has a Mid Medusa and you have the chance to counter-pick - go for Huskar. Huskar not only destroys Medusa in the lane but also sets the perfect tempo to win against a Medusa. You can kill her in the lane with the help of your support, take Roshan around 15-17 minute mark and the game is over shortly after.
2. Clinkz - Clinkz can't really counter Medusa in a 1v1 lane match up but making Diffusal blade shreds her Mana Pool because your mini skeletons get the mana burn ability. On top of that, you can easily avoid her right clicks with Strafe and pressure her side-lanes which will reduce the total amount of space she can farm.
3. Juggernaut - Counter a Meta hero with another Meta hero and yeah why not? Healing ward can keep your supports alive and help your cores to man up against the terror Medusa spreads. Spin is also a great spell to disengage with Stone Gaze and Omnislash is a reliable spell that works against Medusa at all stage of the game and gets stronger and stronger as the game moves ahead. Juggernaut with a Diffusal Blade can terrify Medusa at all stages of the game.
