How Bloodseeker and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Tidehunter win 52.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 393 matches.
Landing a big Ravage makes it trivial to hit a multi-hero Blood Rite, leading to a devastating teamfight opening. Tidehunter provides the perfect setup, and Bloodseeker delivers the follow-up damage and silence. From there, Gush's slow helps lock down anyone trying to survive a Rupture, letting Bloodseeker easily secure kills and snowball with Thirst. It’s a very straightforward and powerful combination. This pairing hasn't been common lately, so its effectiveness in the current pace of the game is worth a second thought, but the lockdown is undeniable.
