Medusa/Gorgon

Ok!!! Finally I found a hero that can get juggernaut out in the early stages!!MEDUSA!!!!!

An insidious creature that dwelled for eons in the underwater prisons of Nazjatar, the Gorgon was unwittingly freed during the war waged between King Arthas's Scourge and the Naga on the icy shores of Northrend. Plagued by undeath in the aftermath, Medusa welcomed the blessing of immortality. Gifted with a keen sense of archery and affinity to magic at birth, she has honed her skills over the ages – striking multiple foes with a single volley of arrows, debilitating them with jolts of lightning, and even conjuring a protective barrier of mana. Like her namesake, Medusa instills paralyzing fear into all that dare cross her path. No.1 hero for early stages as it has slow chain lightning and even mana shield... extremely good hero to use... easy to master and all that....

Skills:

Split Shot

Medusa magically splits her shot into three arrows. These arrows deal a lower percent of her normal damage.
Level 1 - 45% damage
Level 2 - 55% damage
Level 3 - 65% damage
Level 4 - 75% damage
Passive
OK... Split shot is not really useful until late games when you have maximised your damage for nice attacks. This skill should be maxed last even before attributes as your damage will be lesser compared to single shot.

Chain Lightning

Hurls a bolt of damaging lightning at a target enemy that jumps to nearby enemies. Each jump deals less damage.
Level 1 - 75 damage, jumps 3 times.
Level 2 - 150 damage, jumps 5 times.
Level 3 - 225 damage, jumps 7 times.
Level 4 - 300 damage, jumps 9 times.
Cooldown: 11 seconds.
Level 1: 90 mana, 11 sec cooldown.
Level 2: 105 mana, 11 sec cooldown.
Level 3: 125 mana, 11 sec cooldown.
Level 4: 145 mana, 11 sec cooldown.

A great skill early in the game as 300 damage does hurt after all...(consider it to be the first skill)

Mana Shield

Creates a shield that absorbs 50% of the incoming damage by using Medusa's mana.
Level 1 - .75 damage per point of mana.
Level 2 - 1.25 damage per point of mana.
Level 3 - 1.5 damage per point of mana.
Level 4 - 2 damage per point of mana.
Level 1: 0 mana, 10 sec cooldown.
Level 2: 0 mana, 10 sec cooldown.
Level 3: 0 mana, 10 sec cooldown.
Level 4: 0 mana, 10 sec cooldown.

This is also a super important skill as it greatly reduces damage from powerful attacks such as omnislash, assasinate and all the other ultimates. Big help in the late game as it can really absorb so much damage if you have the mana.

Purge

Casts a powerful anti-magic buff at a target enemy unit.Slows movement and attack speeds for 5 seconds.
Level 1 - Slows speed by a factor of 2.
Level 2 - Slows speed by a factor of 3.
Level 3 - Slows speed by a factor of 5.
Deals 600/800/1000 damage to summoned units.
Cooldown: 12/11/10
Level 1: 60 mana, 12 sec cooldown.
Level 2: 60 mana, 11 sec cooldown.
Level 3: 60 mana, 10 sec cooldown.

This skill works like diffusal blade just that it slows even more and the cooldown is lesser compared to diffusal blade. Great skill for ganging as it slows down the enemy.

Item Build: 1)Boots of speed 2)Eye of Skadi 3)Perserverance (can be used for bloodstone upgrade if you want) 4)Buriza 5)Bloodstone 6)Upgrade the perseverance to either battle fury or linken sphere 7)Divine Rapier (rapes your enemies)

Some people might say that eye of skadi is pretty useless but it is not true... together with purge it can really slow your opponent down for some good hits and ganging. You would want a Buriza as it stacks with split shot. If you manage to get this build, you would probably be owning bad so a Divine Rapier would be great for split shot/hurting damage. Bloodstone increases your hp and mana so you might want to consider buying that. Overall,this build is meant people who only care about slowing people for a good attack.
