How Bloodseeker and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Ringmaster win 56.13% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 253 matches.
Picking these two together often means you’re accepting a bit of awkwardness for some potential setup. Ringmaster’s control spells are great for holding an enemy inside a Bloodrite, and his ability to draw enemies in can help group them up for Bloodseeker. The main issue is how their ultimates interact. Pulling a Ruptured enemy with one of Ringmaster's spells will trigger the damage, but it feels less effective than a simple root or stun that forces the target to fight. Both heroes want to dictate the terms of a fight, but they do so in ways that don't perfectly overlap, leaving you with a partnership that works but rarely feels smooth.
