IHMO, it is quite boring to farm all the time while the team is doing all the work. However, since it is a pub, and it's really hard to trust anyone. Also, dota's huge teamfight rarely come up, and I usually waited out someone got caught in my team. Teleport in and ultimate and make a comeback.
It's basically how ridiculous medusa's ultimate can turn the game around if used properly.
I remember saw someone in competitive game used ultimate first and teleport in near tower and completely catch everyone off-guard once medusa teleport in the middle of the enemy team. Those Pre-5 seconds worth the $$$.
Unless if you have at least 2-3 support on your team knows what they're doing,
Heroes such as
Earth spirit, Vengeanceful spirit, and Warlock; who does really good jobs on creating lots of spaces and really good at teamfight. Although, I rarely seen anyone playing Earth spirit to its full potential in v6.83d, but I know a few that do.
Farming and reading situation takes a lot of practice and 1 wrong moves is over for you lol. Once you learn this, you're pretty much unstoppable and able to win any team-fight regardless of how bad your team are doing. I learn this from someone who's literally play Medusa/Axe/Kunkka 24/7

Why manta? Mana shield shows as effect and when u use manta it takes it off automatically, annoying as fuck.
Why diffusal? Doesn't it not work on splitshot? (Idk)
Diffusal counter most bad line-up against medusa such as
anti-mage, slark, abaddon with MoM, and etcSlark without his mana = dead slark. He jumps on you: teleport or use ultimate out. Once you got divine. He's no longer a problem and his ultimate can pretty much get hit by splitshot (which is pretty weird)
Anti-mage without his mana = dead magina
Abaddon without his MoM = dead abaddon
Manta can pretty much remove some nasty disable such as; mainly silence that's all.
Other projectile stun is too hard to dodge with the delay unlike dota 2.
Removing the mana shield after manta is a good thing, and you can make a fake-out heroes who run while you hitting their heroes like paper.

For some reason, I don't really like drum as much, and it's kinda a waste of gold and slot too.
It's extremely good with medusa with extra hp/mp/atk spd, and ms.
However, a good support on the team; a tank or someone has better synergy with this item is better than for medusa to have it.

About the sheep part not true at all, sheep on medusa is actually legit. Theres alot of pro players who have won competitive games with it. Its like a ranged carry's version of abbysal. Also the extra mana has great synergy with shield.
Hell yeah, sheep stick on medusa will also solve your MBK problems too, it's also act like LC's ultimate where you can negate the heroes' passive.
