How Bloodseeker and Vengeful Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Vengeful Spirit win 54.78% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,509 matches.
Pulling a target out of position with Nether Swap makes Bloodseeker's life easy. He can immediately follow up with Rupture and a Blood Rite, leaving the enemy with no good options. Vengeful Spirit's Magic Missile adds to the lockdown, while her Wave of Terror makes Bloodseeker's physical attacks more effective from the very start. This combination provides both the long-range initiation and the follow-up damage needed to secure a kill on almost any hero caught alone.
The game plan becomes one of early aggression, as the pair hunts for pickoffs across the map to snowball into a lead. Enemies are forced to play defensively, grouping together earlier than they’d like and investing heavily in vision to avoid the ganks. Trying to farm a remote lane is extremely risky, because a single mistake can lead to Vengeful Spirit starting a fight from out of vision. Once Bloodseeker is on the target, it’s very difficult for them to survive or escape.
