How Bounty Hunter and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter and Night Stalker win 55.59% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 590 matches.
Seeing both of these heroes on one draft might seem like they're competing for the same job, but they actually create a total map lockdown. Night Stalker provides the hard initiation and long silence with Crippling Fear, making it simple for Bounty Hunter to apply Track. Once a target is marked, there's very little chance of escape, especially at night when the enemy's vision is already limited. The bonus gold from these kills then accelerates everyone's items, letting Night Stalker hit his own timings ahead of schedule. They don't fight for space; one finds the target and the other executes, and your whole team gets paid for it.
