How Bloodseeker and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Templar Assassin win 50.67% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 150 matches.
Facing this duo can feel less threatening than it looks on paper. Both Templar Assassin and Bloodseeker are greedy cores who want to get ahead early and snowball from the same parts of the map. This competition for resources means they often hit their key item timings later than they should. In fights, their goals are different. Bloodseeker wants to apply Rupture and run people down over time, while Templar Assassin needs to blow up a target instantly from Meld. Without strong lockdown from their supports, enemies can often split up or kite, preventing Bloodseeker from getting a good chase started and denying Templar Assassin the stationary target she needs.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
