Dota 2 bloodseeker new setup

Dota 2 bloodseeker new setup

Patch has been out less than a day, it’s impossible to have enough matchup experience to say he’s broken.

The new Blood is very good, that’s true. I’ve seen Bloods lose today, you counter them the same as you always have.

They already did nerf Pubseeker. They nerfed his ability to solokill pubs. He gains like, half as much speed when ganking individual heroes, and cannot actually see them – so he can’t target them with rupture or silence them before they see him. He’s also very easy to bait now.

What they buffed was his utility to clean up in teamfights. I don’t think it’ll make much difference though, really.

PUBSEEKER SPEED STACKING 2FAST; VOLVO PLS INSTALL SPEEDBUMPS IN THE LANES

I think I’m gonna have to give Bloodseeker a try when I get home tonight, see if he’s really as OP enough to warrant all the complaints that he’s getting.

I mean, speed isn’t exactly a new thing to the game; randomed into playing with a Drow the other day and ended up with both the new Tranq Boots (have since beeen informed they are sub-optimal for carries) and Sange and Yasha, and that seemed pretty fast to me. I managed to accidentally walk into an ambush and then still outrun 4 members of the other team just with that setup.

I’ve yet to see bloodseeker win a single game yet post patch. He needs a buff if anything.

AFAIK, that’s because his actual combat ability didn’t get much stronger (He traded armor for an attack bonus). He got FASTER yes, but all that really means is that it’s easier for him to get into position and/or scout. If he couldn’t kill you 1v1 before the patch he’s not likely to be able to do so afterwards.

People get ganked when Bloodseeker finds them alone, low on health, and far from a base or tower (say, if they where jungling), but the outcome would be the same in those circumstances for MOST heroes. Bloodseeker is just a little better at finding people now.

Seriously, just don’t get low on health when playing against a Bloodseeker and you’ll remain invisible in the unwarded fog of war. I tried him the other day and he’s anything but OP, if your last hit count and farming isn’t good then you aren’t going to carry the game. Sure he’s faster, it’s great for running away from fights where you still have little teamfight contribution other than ulting a hero with blink or rightclicking someone. While I didn’t do much for my team because of the crappy farming one thing that did happen more than once was a lone hero went to their jungle to farm, got low on health and so my entire team descended on them to gank and kill. People don’t learn, and that happened more than once.

I’d bet those got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ off and call him OP, but as always, it’s their fault.
