I'm not saying he can do this in pro games but at least at my MMR ( mid lvl pub games) a bs can last hit everything vs a low dmg solo ranged mid (and still do well and often win lane vs melee's as well) and get a huge gold/exp advantage which snowballs his ganking/carrying ability. So yes Night stalker is obviously a better ganker, but a NS can't regen form half hp back to full off one creep wave either. That may or may not be useful, and as a useful hero NS might be better overall, but they are not simply the same but NS better.

Winning your lane is pointless if you still aren't very useful to your team.
Honestly, i don't have any problem against BS mid, ever. Not even with heroes like rhasta.

Pub seeker works if your whole team can snowball out of control and have a huge advantage.
But the later the game goes against a real carry he'll just not really be worth it.

that's cus he's not a hard carry and shouldn't be played as one lol
you could say the same thing about night stalker or any other hero that peaks midgame

I didnt' say he was a hard carry at all, but blood seeker's mid-game isn't even that good, which was my point. Sure he can do decent in lane due to sustain, but outside of that he's really not a good hero.

For example,
he needs the enemy to be low hp to be able to chase.
he eneds his ult to get kills as a ganker

Night stalker does everything he does better, as already stated.
And lategame NS is still pretty useful with aghanim and so on.

he's stronger in lane than ns, his ulti is really good all game long, and a lot of the time silence can do some work
his midgame is pretty good, in particular he's one of the best countergankers in the game once he gets his ult
bs certainly isn't amazing but he's not that bad in pubs


Him being stronger in lane depends entirely on his enemy.
And no his ulti has no real effect the second the enemies he need to target gets items that prevent him from touching them, like a bkb. And his silence is a double edged sword.
And i never said he was bad in pubs, i just said he's not a very good hero.
A lot of not so good heroes do fantastically in pubs.

I mean a night stalker with aghanim is 10 times more useful than a blood seeker in a game with good players.

yes, because you'll always have a bkb and you obviously always want to hit bkb when you get ruptured from 1000 distance, often before the teamfight even begins
silencing supports is almost never bad, and certain heroes get absolutely crippled by silence
you're saying he's not even useful to the team even if he wins his lane, and that's not true at all

Why would you BKB if you got ruptured when him and his team is far away from you? You can just wait for it to wear off, and if they come and engage on you, then you'll need to bkb anyway.
And yes lategame against a BS you'll have a bkb.
And yes he can be useful if he wins his lane, but he'd be a lot more useful if he was a hero that actually did what bloodseeker attempts to do, better.
He's a bad hero against good opponents.
Pubs rarely have any coordination, at all, which is why heroes like him can work there.
I'd personally much rather have a night stalker on my team, because he's a better hero.
Any hero can be useful to his team granted the right circumstances, doesn't mean the hero is good/bad/decent. Just like if you win your lane and your opponent feeds you, sure a spirit breaker can be useful, does this make spirit breaker a good hero? Nope.

he's a bad hero against organized teams, sure, but nobody plays seriously in pub games anyway, and were aren't talking about scrims or anything so i don't see how that's relevant at all

you can bkb out of tree ult (after it's cast) and bkb to block sven stun (pretty easily because the projectile is so slow)

Did i say that? No? Yea, i didn't think so.

Why would i say any of those two things?
Especially because you're making a really horrible comparison by bringing the two of those up.
First of all sven's isn't an ulti, second of all treant protector can fire his ulti off after the enemies use their BKBs or force them to keep it for his ulti, bkb vs blood seeker ulti on the other hand? Fucks hard with it.

Sure, did i say otherwise? Nope, i did not.

Did i ever say he was a hero that didn't work in pubs? Hey, let's look back quickly... Nope, i didn't.
On the other hand i said he's a bad hero against good players, which is correct.

Sorry, but you're putting words in my mouth there, which i am not interested in, i never said anything about pub seeker not working in pubs, quite the opposite, i've said that he does indeed work in pubs. But not against good players.
Everything is useful given the right scenarios, blood seeker thrives in scenarios where the enemies aren't organized, and against any even remotely competent players it's not hard to go lategame against a pub-seeker, because he doesn't help much with pushing, at all. So getting lategame against him is not really hard, most of the time, unless of course the rest of his team is focused around pushing or something and you have 5 melee carries, but again, i never said that he'd never work against pubs, which is where you'd find 5 melee carries on one team. But against good players, he's a horrible hero.

I think we need graphs to look at Bloodseeker's pub winrate and from there decide whether or not Bloodseeker is OP or UP.

50.88% winrate, 3rd highest average kill per game, average number of deaths and last hits and 16th highest average GPM in the game. I vote OP.

Agreed. But what happens if every bloodseeker in the front few pages for live matches get a victory? Is he then truly as good as ursa?
