How Bounty Hunter and Nature's Prophet perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter and Nature's Prophet win 44.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 469 matches.
Ganking a hero anywhere on the map sounds powerful, but the kits don't align. Bounty Hunter excels at finding a target with Track and opening with burst, but he needs a partner with reliable lockdown to finish the job. Nature's Prophet's Sprout is often insufficient as a disable; many heroes can cut the trees or have an escape to get out before Prophet's right-clicks do meaningful damage. This leaves Bounty Hunter exposed after his initial attack, with the target getting away and both heroes having wasted their time on a failed attempt.
This disconnect ripples through the game. Early gank attempts fizzle, preventing Bounty Hunter from generating the Track gold his team needs to snowball. Nature's Prophet also falls behind, spending time on rotations instead of split-pushing effectively. As the game progresses, the enemy team can safely group up and push objectives, knowing this duo offers very little teamfight presence. The lineup feels pulled in two directions, with one hero trying to set up ganks and the other splitting the map, with neither strategy creating a winning advantage.
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.
