How Bloodseeker and Phantom Lancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Phantom Lancer win 52.22% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,528 matches.
Fighting against this pair can be frustrating. Phantom Lancer is great at creating chaos and chipping away at enemy health bars across a teamfight. Once any hero gets low, Bloodseeker's Thirst activates, granting him vision and speed to chase down anyone trying to disengage. This helps convert chaotic fights into clean kills. In return, a well-placed Rupture from Bloodseeker can hold a key enemy in place, making it easy for Phantom Lancer and his illusions to surround and eliminate them. The synergy isn't always perfect, as both heroes want a lot of farm and their power spikes can be slightly out of sync, but they give each other a good way to secure kills that might otherwise slip away.
