How Bloodseeker and Pangolier perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Pangolier win 47.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,313 matches.
The idea behind this pairing is to force a no-win situation. Pangolier can use Rolling Thunder to scatter the enemy team, which is a terrible choice for anyone Bloodseeker has just hit with Rupture. That target has to choose between taking huge damage from moving or getting chain-stunned and finished off. Pangolier’s area damage from Swashbuckle and his ultimate can also soften up multiple heroes, activating Thirst for Bloodseeker and letting him run wild. However, the combo relies heavily on timing. If Rolling Thunder knocks a Ruptured enemy to an awkward spot or the two heroes aren't on the same page, the synergy mostly evaporates, as they don't offer each other much else.
