How Bloodseeker and Lion perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Lion win 47.79% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,356 matches.
A Ruptured enemy is an easy target for Lion's entire spell rotation. The choice is either running and taking massive damage from Bloodseeker, or standing still and getting hit by Earth Spike and Hex. This setup makes landing a full-power Finger of Death almost guaranteed. The synergy scales well into the game, as Bloodseeker's Thirst provides vision on low-health heroes across the map, giving Lion perfect information for where to go for a pickoff. This reliable ganking partnership can effectively punish any out-of-position hero, creating the space needed to secure objectives and build a steady lead.
