How Bounty Hunter and Dark Seer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter and Dark Seer win 52.56% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,359 matches.
Putting an Ion Shell on an invisible Bounty Hunter seems like a good idea for surprise damage, but it often backfires. The shell's visual effect gives away his general location, ruining the element of surprise needed for a clean gank or to apply Track without risk. Their overall game plans can also feel disconnected. Dark Seer wants to pull the entire enemy team together with Vacuum for a big Wall of Replica fight. Bounty Hunter is much more effective in smaller skirmishes, finding pickoffs on isolated heroes. While a Surge can help Bounty Hunter close a gap, their kits are fundamentally built for different kinds of engagements, leading to an awkward pairing.
