Bloodseeker counters & matchups
Bloodseeker is a snowballing carry/ganker who chases low-HP targets with Thirst and silences with Rupture. He feasts on immobile, low-mobility heroes — his best matchups are Timbersaw (60.1%), Mars (58.9%) and Tinker (58.3%), none of whom can move while Ruptured without dying. He's countered by heroes who don't care about Rupture or who out-tank him: Medusa (he wins only 44.4% into her mana shield and split push), Spectre (46.8%) and Wraith King (48.0%) all scale past his mid-game spike. Draft tip: Bloodseeker is a brutal pick into squishy, escape-light line-ups; he falls off into hard-carry drafts that survive his 20-35 minute window.

Bloodseeker synergies
Bloodseeker wants targets pinned so Rupture and right-clicks finish them. He pairs best with hard lockdown and other snowball cores: Wraith King (57.5%) and Spectre (57.0%) share his 'kill them before they scale' tempo, while Crystal Maiden (56.1%) provides the roots and mana for a relentless gank loop. Tidehunter (56.1%) and Necrophos (56.7%) give the AoE control and sustain that let Bloodseeker dive in repeatedly. Give him chain-disable, and Thirst turns every pickoff into a snowball.
