Creep aggro has 500 area of effect, lasts for 2 seconds, and a 2 second cooldown for each hero. | ||

He can amass a lot of gold but to actually do anything with it he really needs all slots filled. In the current age of group upland push or mass ganks there isn't enough time or space for him to farm enough to be effective. He's also gankable without an escape. Other heroes do better with the same level of farm dedication That being said it will only take one or two teams showcasing him raping face for other teams to pick him up and try it out. Dota is all about trends | ||

This is orb walking and makes harassing with them very potent. If you set it to autocast and simply right click, the normal aggro rules apply. So as long as you right click the enemy hero whilst you are at least 500 range away from any creeps, your hero will walk forward and have 2 seconds to wail on an enemy hero before they have to back out of range and re-start the process? Thanks a lot for that! I also heard that you can attack your own creeps (like you do to get rid of tower aggro) but not sure if this actually works, I will give it a try next time I play. | ||

Attack your own creep, even a full health one will remove you from the tower aggro list. Tested and proven many times over. | ||

You get experience whenever you kill something even if you're on the other side of the map. But it's not like meepo where he just needs to be around to get xp | ||

As far as I know you never got experience from creeps outside the XP range, and getting XP from hero kills was a fairly recent change. | ||

Pretty sure that's not how it works in WC3. Oh you meant WC3, not WC3 dota, nvm. | ||

2. Why isn't bloodseeker a viable semi carry pro level? I get why he's not a very good ganker solo but he has really good stats and the skills to be both a huge single target dps source as well as a superb laner. But the biggest thing should be that if you lose a skirmish against his team he will easily clean house with the leftovers. | ||
