Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Bloodseeker wins the Bloodseeker vs Night Stalker matchup: Bloodseeker beats Night Stalker in 52.43% of 14,179 ranked matches.
Taking control of the map at night becomes a lot more complicated for Night Stalker. He relies on darkness to find solo kills and create pressure, but any sustained fight he starts tends to benefit his opponent. As soon as a hero on either side gets low, Bloodseeker gets vision and a huge movement speed bonus from Thirst. This can completely expose a gank, allowing Bloodseeker to counter-initiate or hunt down the low-health target himself. A well-timed Rupture on Night Stalker also forces him to stand and fight, which he often can't do if the engagement has turned sour. The whole situation makes Night Stalker's primary game plan less consistent.
