It happens A LOT. And if you are getting ganked by a 2+ heroes, then realistically any 2+ hero combo can kill any hero that people think bloodseeker solo kills. Bloodseeker really isn't the problem, just bad vision, terrible position, etc.
And if you getting solo ganked by a bloodseeker, tping out is usually the best solution as he can't do shit about it. Same with viper, phoenix, huskar, etc
Also has to do with reaction and decision making, it will change a lot.

Yeah, I feel his laning is clearly the factor that makes him strong. People crying about rupture cried about him when he was trash as well. BS has good lane sustain against almost anyone and can out-cs virtually any hero in the game. It's just frustrating.
Regardless, he's not overly OP. He's nowhere close to what Troll was in 6.83. Have people forgotten already? >57% pub winrate, 100% Pick/ban in pro games, lane dominator, mid game monster, late game monster, solo pushing power house, free solo 12 min Roshan and so forth. I honestly can't think of a single fucking weakness he had. He basically invalidated every other melee core in the game. Sniper could kite him somewhat well but then again, he was OP as well. 6.84 Bloodseeker is a joke compared to that. Outplaying Troll was tough and even if you did, he came back easily because of free Rosh, good jungling and comeback mechanics back then.
Mechanically, Troll is a little tougher to do well with I feel and still his winrate was insane. Probably one of the most OP heroes in Dota since I started playing January 2013.

Pretty much.
BS is dumb because he crushes in lane and then can steamroll down most teams with just a bit of back up. You TP out and the teamfight is just that much easier for him.
Though, again: I don't find BS is super OP. I don't know how to go about finding the data, but I imagine I have a pretty decent winrate against it on this patch. If you can outlive his midgame ridiculousness, he's pretty fucking pathetic.

That's a Dotabuff+ thing.
And yeah, lategame he's meh even if he dominates the midgame, bloodrite and thirst damage don't scale too well into the lategame.

Even in lane he's still a melee hero, pick accordingly and he can't do shit
Spot on.

pushes like shit though
TB can take rax ez pz at like 20 minutes, and it's his biggest appeal imo
I had a team mate yelling at someone to TP out whilst a BS was charging at him 1000MPH and will obviously kill the hero in 1 or 2 hits, so silly.
I have started tp'ing back to base if I see that damn icon showing he can see me and he is off the map.
Played Void for the first time since 6.81 totally forgot the changes to chrono, caught Tiny and got first hit stunned I felt like such a fool.
Then did the shame TP away.

Yeah and it sucks when the current meta has a lot of burst damage.
Still worth a try.

So delightful when my clockwerk dives fountain for no reason and then spam pings me because I tp'd out instead of sticking around after killing 2 rax
and after going in 1v5
and after going in 1v3 when i was half health
I guess I'm not manly enough because I don't want to fight into a Lesh, SK, Shaker, Undying and BS solo.
Best part of the game was me hitting the rax all by myself while my entire team chases down a Sand King all the way to their T2.

I can't wait for 6.85, tired of seeing Bloodseeker in every game (even when he's on my team)

I seriously doubt he's getting any substantial nerfs.

Mirana's great
I hope we get a buff to core Mirana, though there's no need for any more Agi carries.

bloodseeker isn't OP
riki is fuckin garbage
riki is fuckin garbage
they should make bloodseeker's silence aoe take up two screens instead of one, and double the silence amount. 6 seconds isn't enough
the only hero I legitimately hate is lina
edit: also, what's with all of the chi long qua imitators? I literally played with two different people yesterday who were embodying his persona and verbal mannerisms.

"kill roshan before 3 minutes"
"get two lanes of rax before 12 minutes"
that's the kind of shit I have to deal with

He's broken.
He can blood rage a ranged ally in lane and have them sustain and deal increased damage. Pretty OP hero tbh.
Anybody know when they end? Somebody said last week Thursday but everything is still working now. Still didn't get my prediction points or watch 10 games of main event points actually.
