Bounty Hunter vs Grimstroke

How this matchup plays

Trying to set up a gank from invisibility becomes a real gamble against Grimstroke. If Bounty Hunter gets too close without a plan, a well-aimed Phantom's Embrace will latch on, revealing and silencing him. This completely shuts down his burst potential from Shuriken Toss and Jinada, leaving him exposed and useless. Conversely, if Grimstroke misses this spell or uses it on someone else, he becomes a prime target. Bounty Hunter excels at punishing a squishy support with no escape, and a successful kill provides a lot of Track gold for his team. The whole lane and early game can hinge on this one cooldown.

Across the map, this dynamic continues. Bounty Hunter wants to create chaos and find isolated pickoffs, while Grimstroke prefers to stick with his team to get the most out of Soulbind. The vision provided by Track is a huge asset, as it allows Bounty Hunter's team to see Grimstroke's positioning and play around his powerful teamfight spells. The matchup often comes down to which hero can better dictate the pace. If Grimstroke and his team are grouped and pushing, Bounty Hunter struggles to find an opening. If the game is scattered, Grimstroke is often the one getting found.
