How Bloodseeker and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Troll Warlord win 52.70% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 148 matches.
Committing to this pair often means you're planning to run at the enemy all mid-game. Bloodseeker’s Rupture is a nightmare for any hero trying to kite Troll Warlord, forcing them to stand still and fight. That plays right into Troll's hands, letting him build up Fervor stacks and completely control his target. Once he triggers Battle Trance, the Ruptured enemy has almost no way out. The constant fighting also keeps Thirst active for Bloodseeker, letting him clean up anyone who escapes the initial burst. Admittedly, you don't see this duo very often these days.
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.
