Introducting Bloodseeker

Bloodseeker is one of the best midlle carries and early gankers on the game, you just need to know how to proceed with him.
Well, you may notice that bloodseeker is ALWAYS on Team Fights, no matter if he comes when the fight is almost over, he is always at the team fights and usually kills someone.
To play that kind of bloodseeker you need to know the map, you need to think what's the fastest path to get on the TF, and what is the fastest path to gank.
Well, actually, Bloodseeker can be played in 2 modes: Middle Solo or Passive Farming.
I do not recommend you to get bloodseeker on the offensive lane, it's better to go jungle if you need 2 heroes to solo lanes.
Well, Bloodseeker is a good jungler, so, if the other team is harrassing you, go jungle, you won't die if you aren't dumb.

Efficient Jungler

Well, as most of the matchs, people will pick up burst damaging heroes for the early game and them make sure you are in their vision to don't be surprised.
One of the most hardcore thinks you can do to own the game (it works very well), is get level 4 on Thirst while jungling, so cruel, because everytime someone gets low hp on the enemies side, you get buffed, really, it helps you to farm, it helps you to get, it makes you almost impossible to get away of.
Well, and what to do if I can't het last hits on the lane because they have heavy damage range heroes?
Go to the jungle, you may find you jungle warded in the most games against gankers and junglers, but, usually they forget to ward their jungle.
Going to the enemies jungle is one of the best thing you can do, but really, do that after level 4 with Thirst level 3, otherwise you can be surprised by a enemy jungler.
And why should I do that?
When you are in the enemies jungle, you have to see some advantages like: If the Hard-carry gets low HP, you are very close to kill or just Last Hit, if you are in their jungle, it means that they won't have creeps on the jungle for their Hard-Carry (you are desabling their powerful carry) and you are even farming and getting XP and Gold, and of course, you are closer to your team mates to help them if needed.
Just don't forget to use you Q to survive in the Jungle.

Skill Build

Why should I pick Bloodrage firstly? I tought I should pick Blood Rite firstly!
Well, there are two points: Picking Bloodrage first, means that you can resist the lane, by getting last hits, and harras them, as well that garantee that you will survive in case you go Jungle (and you can even get a First Blood with Bloodrage, because it gives you extra damage).
And why to max Thirst firstly?
As you enemy gets lower hp by fighting creeps or your team, you will get buffed, moving faster, getting extra damage, and the most important one: you reveal low hp enemies.
I'm not a support, I just want to kill, why should I care about showing low hp guys on the map to all my team instead of just for me?
Well, if you think that way, sincerely, don't play Bloodseeker.
The best bloodseeker ability is Thirst, it takes you very fast to Team Fights, Faster Farming, Extra Damage, Enemy Spot... well, I think you understood the importancy of Thirst.

NOTE: After maxing your Thirst, max you Bloodrage, because it gives you more damage, and heal you every single Last Hit.

NOTE 2: Bloorage has a really low Cooldown on the level 3 and 4, so, DON'T STOP USING BLOODRAGE, you can tell me that it makes you get more damage too, it's true, but as I know Bloodseeker, you can easily can everyone before they can really damage you.

NOTE 3: Don't be coward. Bloodseeker is not a TANKY one, but he really doesn't die fast. As you hit your enemy, he will loose HP and you go Stronger every hit, so, DON'T BE A COWARD, just don't face heroes like Axe, Sven, Bane... and Powerfull Stuning ones.

NOTE 4: If the enemy team has a Riki, Mirana, Bounty Hunter or Shadow Fiend, Bloodseeker is of course the best choice you can do.
Why?
Bloodseeker's rupture with Thirst and Blood Rite, can get those heroes out of the game in seconds. How to do that? You see a riki attacking you or an ally, just cast Rupture before he dessappears, and them cast Blood Rite on the floor where you saw Riki/etc... the last time, them it will be: If I stay, the Bloodseeker eat me, If I run, he'll catch me. Really cool thing to do (Really boring thing to those heroes who reallies on Invisibility).

NOTE 5: They got a Shadow Fiend? This is your lucky day! :D If Shadow Fiend goes Middle, you have to go Middle, SF is very easily countered by Bloodseeker, the same steps I mentioned for Riki and invi heroes, but this time, you can see SF, so, cast the spells and get to SF, hit him as much as you can, SF usually can't kill bloodseeker when Bloodseeker is close to him, and remembering, more hit's he get, more damage and speed you get.

Final Considerations

Bloodseeker is very simple to play, and if you got my instructions, you'll see what Bloodseeker is capable off. Thanks for all, I'll develop more instructions on How to Act Like Bloodseeker soon.
