Saying Vendetta manaburns is quite misleading, since mana burn also deals damage scaled with the mana burnt so it's extra potent against Medusa. Vendetta only remove 50% mana pool, which is still ~50% Medusa's health, though
@@ehrenromblon5392 no she is useless now, because valve sucks again. They made mana shield to block damage after armor reduction, but they fucked up and didn't do that...
For those wondering why this happens: Medusas mana shield is coded in a (at least after 7.33 release, before it was coded in a different way) way that there is a 99.9% chance that i absolutely have no idea what im talking about and you're being jebaited
its so bad because now,even if axe banned,medusa got really really hard countered by mana burn (not like before,even if she ran out of mana she still have 2k-3k hp,but now even at lv30 only 400 hp)
So is it her fault she didn’t have shield on or is that no longer a thing. Only got to play 1 game on the new patch have to wait till morrow till I can play a bunch so don’t know yet.
Buy strength treads and 2 bracers early, easy. By the time axe is level 18 you probably have other stat items. Her shield absorbs 98% damage now (70% before) and the multiplier is increased, it's also passive now so AM and breaks are the only counters.
@@magus5425 Break still doesn't affect it, despite Mana Shield being a passive. It's the same thing as with Reincarnation, also a passive yet not breakable.
This is the stupidest change in the entirety of dota, I've never seen anything so poorly thought like this change. Icefrog did a riot games level of change
yeah i dunno wtf they were thinking with this change. Medusa is unplayable now, she was already hard countered by mana burn strats but if she got a satanic she could still fight. Not anymore.
Honestly. I have absolutely no idea how they thought these Medusa changes were neccessary. Ive immedately understood, once ive read through the patch notes, that they havent thought this through.

Its really big nerf XD No matter how big her dmg reduction is, mana burn still her biggest enemy. And now with HP that less than a creep, i feel sorry for her XD

What do you mean? Read Axe's skill description. If a target has below 250-450HP, the target is killed, unconditionally (even through Shallow Grave/False Promise/Borrowed time etc). Now Medusa has 420HP on lvl 30, go figure.
@@ojas51 she no longer has strength as an attribute and has million intelligence so she will have 100 HP and 1000 Mana, level 1 also 98% damage absorption by her mana shield
you literally cant comeback with medusa even if she is designed to be late game hero... enemy just have to trilane in medusa lane.. and forcing ur team to trilane too to protect medusa.. you need to babysit medusa for 20 mins to at least make an impact on 40 mins game lol.. at least that is the situation on every crusader and archon games.. medusa will make an impact around 30-40 mins but thats not even sure cuz the first 20 mins is important for babysitting..
nah they (icefrog) just take away all medusa's strength value (it's literally 0) so if you play medusa buy strength or your max hp is so low even axe can chop you at full hp
If you are stupid enough to be countered by axe as medusa you deserve to lose. Treads (STR) alone can stop him from culling you with lvl 1 and 2 ults. Match id: 7116578656 Not once did he change the treads attribute to STR #HeraldProblems
They should have made this DOTA 3, with heroes and items with mana break and burns, medusa is completely useless, unbreakable manashield? Yes it wont disappear, but what if she has no mana?what's the use of that unbreakable manashield,?where will it get the mana to reduce the damages?in her ass?and you have no choice but to build items like heart and etc., and you will absolutely have no damage
And there's also a Nyx who can burn half of Meduza's max mana just with his ult...
Damn, dark times have come for Duza

Yes, i can. Even without shield she have decent agility and intelligence so magic and speed-dependant builds are fine.

Just build stat items as usual(Dragon Lance, Manta, Skadi etc) and she's completely fine. She's even more jacked now with that buffed mana shield.
exactly all these comments are so dumb lmao

Just checked. Medusa lvl 1 got 120 HP???? The fuck??? And so she can easily be destroy with pure dmg from start?
Its really big nerf XD
No matter how big her dmg reduction is, mana burn still her biggest enemy.
And now with HP that less than a creep, i feel sorry for her XD
creep : how the fk we arent hero, yet? look at her, 400 hp in frikin lv 30
icefrog: yeap, rightlick core they dont need strength when they afk in jungle with auto attack, they need more agi to get more right click
Wtf does pure damage have anything to do with it?
manashield from any kind of damage
Look how they massacred my girl
Medusa got screwed over in this patch
Hahahaha that’s me I made it
what's the point in taking outposts? aren't they useless now?
I just play a match where dusa got deleted in 4 crits against jugg mjollnir and diffu, rofl
Is that really so much a problem to build 2 bracers and PT till lvl 6? Or buy the red booster and later on conver it to aeon disk? Sheesh...
medusa early really need babysitter
its not a bug, medusa has base strength is 0
What happened? Why??
She spends mana on casting skills, now as her HP
I dont care one bit about that hero farm 30 min
Yah, only base attribute has number now 🤣🤣 no wonder
Its ez to fix just make %dmg back
ok valve wtf
Is this dota 3?
Just got fixed
the problem is
its not bug
