How Bounty Hunter and Lifestealer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter and Lifestealer win 54.94% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 830 matches.
Playing against this duo means constantly fearing a surprise attack. Bounty Hunter can scout for isolated enemies and carry an Infested Lifestealer directly on top of them for a guaranteed initiation. Once a target is caught, the combined slows from Jinada and Open Wounds make escape nearly impossible. Even if an enemy survives the initial burst, a Track on them gives Lifestealer the sustained vision and movement speed he needs to finish the job. This constant pressure translates into extra gold, helping Lifestealer hit his item timings earlier than he normally would and letting him take control of the map.
