So you won't pick a hero just because someone has said he is "douhce"? L E L.

And how Riki, Pudge, Sniper or Axe are douche heroes, please explain? FO you mean that they are OP? Or too easy to play? I'll surprise you, all of these heroes have a skill cap higher of, say, Ogre Magi, and in general they are not the easiest ones because they either require good map awareness and positioning, or farming skills, while Ogre Magi, or, say, Tidehunter doesn't(well at least Tide is no harder than Axe who is the easiest to play among the 4 heroes you named).

Nothing hypocritical about it. Don't hate da playa, hate the game.

And judging by your ways to "counter" Sniper, Pudge and Axe, you don't know how to counter these heroes, like how do these items fix the main problem when facing these heroes?

I believe that Bloodseeker has been buffed tremendously. His Bloodrage to amp his Blood Rite and Rupture makes him a tough adversary in a 1 v 1 situation. His strong point is to hunt down squishy heroes. His huge AoE Silence Pure damage of Blood Rite can change the tide of battle, especially with the Bloodrage buff.

I have been taking interest in Bloodseeker but I have a "no douche" hero policy so I have never played Pudge Riki Axe or Sniper. I am debating wether or not to play him. Is he a douche pick or is it fair game?


Try this. Play the hero a few times and determine it yourself. Don't think heroes are douchey from other players. Sure, Riki can be a nuisance, but he can be very easy to counter. Axe is tanky, but focus fire on him smites him out of the fight.

Well if I hate playing against these heroes it would be hypocritical. I know how to counter but it is annoying as hell to have to buy wards for a Riki or a blade mail for Pudge or a Linkens for Sniper or a Shadow Blade for Axe

Items solely do not counter the heroes. I'm with Dimonychan. You're missing the point here. Detectors such as Track and Amplify Damage will spot that Riki. A smart Riki would have a Diffusal Blade to counter this.

Take Faceless Void for example. A Heaven's Halberd won't solve it. Faceless Void can purchase a Black King Bar. Omniknight counters him heavily. Then the Faceless Void could purchase a Diffusal Blade to purge the Guardian Angel buff.

Sniper is squishy and a brutal smash on him leaves him down for the count. Axe relies on his tankiness and initiation. Pudge is what you can say a "perfect ganker". A few disables and fire power brings him down. Everything has its pros and cons. You just have to dig deeper. Towards the heroes, not the items.

Ok this is going sour, and turning into rant, just is he balanced or not?

Balanced. The only thing he have some imbalance is his thirst, its really weaknow. 30% health required to see is REALLLY LOW. Im frustrated by how Icefrog make his global potential next to zero.

Yes, he's balanced.

Thirst still needs a bit of rework IMO but besides that he's fine.

Balanced hero hanging on the weaker side of the spectrum. Has trouble dealing with inherently bulky heroes and tp scrolls early. Heavily dependent on snowballing and gets stomped by most other carries late as a result.
