Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker wins the Bloodseeker vs Lycan matchup: Bloodseeker beats Lycan in 57.14% of 987 ranked matches.
A fight between these two often comes down to who catches whom. Bloodseeker's Rupture is a natural answer to Lycan's Shapeshift, forcing him to either stand still or take heavy damage. This can completely neutralize his chase or escape potential. On the other hand, a Lycan who gets the jump can often overwhelm Bloodseeker with his summons before Rupture even comes out. The wolves and other summoned units continue to deal damage even if Lycan is forced to stop moving, making him less vulnerable than other mobile heroes. It ends up being a test of positioning and initiation, where either hero can come out ahead depending on the circumstances.
