QoP vs BS solo mid. in General Discussion
nami

    I just crushed a BS the previous match with an EQ Invoker going heavy on harass.

    Tried to do the same with QoP, didn't work. Tried to dominate him by using range to harass, didn't work; QoP just didn't have enough damage against stout shield. All the negligible harass was quickly healed up because I could never get him low enough to zone him out. I tried going Shadow Strike build too for stronger lane dominance, yeah, its not as good as a Cold Snap. Pulled off a few ganks but the lanes were already losing and the moment BS started roaming it was gg.

    Made this thread cuz I saw Sam suggest QoP would do well against BS. Tried it and nope.

    tl;dr my verdict is QoP can't win a BS in laning stage without ganks. That and BS punishes QoP so bad with his skillset mid-lategame.

      You started with zero items except a set of wards. Then you tried to 'harass' bs by standing melee range with him and 4 of his creeps and got rekt like an idiot.
      Sorry bro you are 2k mmr scum and your opinion is invalid.

        QoP has similar base dmg, GREAT anti-melee skill( the dagger deals bullshit dmg), great nuke and rune controling ability in form of blink. You should neve lose against a BS.

          I'm sorry but if you really can't win your lane with QoP then you are terrible. Get better at denying and try again.

            Is that so... it feels like I wouldn't have any trouble outlaning qop with bs tbh.

            Sir

              try something different next time =)

              Born

                couple of time where i played bs vs qop it was really favored to qop.

                if you miss a last hit you are fucked up big time, and even then you lose a ton of hp.

                if qop makes mistake, and doesnt do much till 6 then you are good.

                nami

                  I gave reasoning and all I get was toxicity.

                  @Kabal, yeah what about any point afterwards? I regened up and focus'd on harassing. Didn't do much

                  @Sam, I lol'd. Yes, deny against bs with qb. Now assuming 2 people are equally skilled which do you think gets the last hits, the one with 50 base dmg or 70?

                  Totentanz to The King: M ...

                    And who do you think would get more last hits, the one with melee range or 500 range? Base damage doesn't mean shit if you can aggro creeps well and harass him efficiently.

                    nami

                      The thing is QoP has a base damage of like what, 53-54??

                      Throw that against a BS with a stout who regens his hp easily. Besides, are you seriously telling me you want to outlast hit a BS, like the only fucking way to win a BS is to zone him out to prevent him from outsustaining you.

                      What I'm saying is, it feels to me that QoP can't do that.

                      Idk, I thought I explained it well. I don't see how QoP wins the lane.

                        QoP can own Blood seeker at lane phase, but that is for the laning phase only, shadow strike him and give 2 hits, that's almost half his hp, and keep doing this, with the recent change of the cd of the shadow strike, u can spam it more often.

                        Later on he just crushes u if u don't play extremely safe, really extremely, or if he is a bad player and would engage badly into u.

                          qop vs bs isnt even a match up, bs will get raped to the point of no tmr, no contest whatsoever, wtf r u smoking baddie

                            just challenge me on the other thread.

                              You said yourself that you are a 2k MMR trash, why would anyone waste their time with you?

                                Honestly you shouldn't lose with QoP. With 53 base damage, plus you should start with some pulled tangos + salve + null talisman, which would net you 61 damage. 61 damage is more than enough for last hitting, however you should win your lane before blood starts to get stronger and i see this often in pubs, people don't know how to harass.

                                They will go next to the creeps, and start attacking and lose more health to creep attacks than they do attacking. Not only that, because the creeps attacked you and not the other lane creeps, your lane advances. Creep aggro works the way tower works as well, clicking to deny an ally creep removes aggro from you. And unless it's a 1v1 mid only game, you shouldn't ever max shadow strike first, because you lose the whole point of your hero mid-game.

                                More importantly, deny and last hit everything, and throw hits on him in between. And if he is foolish enough to drop below 50% health, blink behind him scream and right-click.

                                Actually scratch that, if you ARE losing your lane, go help other lanes. It's the best way to get out of a bad situation. Do this when facing strong laning heroes like viper. You should also have complete rune control because of blink and AOE damage.

                                  actually any good player would win as bs vs qop, the only way to lose is to get zoned from lvl 1, which means u have to be very bad.
                                  a bs will always win lane control vs a qop, sam is complete bullshit, no offense.

                                      Meh, nobody picks QoP these days anyway.

                                      Zenoth

                                        I think it isn't as in the favour of QoP as you put it still... down to overall lane mechanical skill, I suppose?

                                          qop wins with runes and better blocks

                                          if bloodseeker does decent bloock and farms pms fast enuff he wins lane cuz qop can't do shit

                                            @zxc,
                                            That actually made me laugh, gd try I should say.
                                            QoP can beat the shit out of BS, he requires last hits to be able to not get zoned out, and with QoP Shadow Strike, she can zone him easily.
                                            Case closed, QoP beats up BS.

                                              BS with a better block will most likely win the lane. In this situation QoP would be forced to rely on runes to gain back the advantage.

                                              If the block is neutral it depends if QoP has a highground ward.

                                              If the block is in favour of QoP it's no contest.

                                                Well, from that point of view.
                                                Everything depends on the skill lvl of both the players.
                                                If Bs is better, he would manage to win the lane some way or another.

                                                  Ah come on. She shouldn't beat him so hard, but damn she shouldn't fucking get crushed like this guy was. Then again, why am I expecting him to win mid when he has only 3 denies and goes for Drums on QoP.

                                                  nami

                                                    The drums was bought when they were fountain farming. At that point I don't think any item mattered. But enough, I don't really wanna talk since you clearly don't intend to discuss anything.

                                                    Regardless, I'm glad some people have pointed out how a BS might win the QoP.

                                                    Totentanz to The King: M ...

                                                      And that changes the fact that you got crushed and manhandled and now instead of blaming yourself for that you are looking for "fake" excuses that will make you feel better.

                                                      nami

                                                        Sam is right. Absolutely right about everything he's said about me so far.

                                                        Now create a separate thread if you want to continue flaming me so people who wants to discuss and elaborate which hero wins which may do so.

                                                        Quick maffs

                                                          BS is not THAT good against range, against most melee heroes he does win but against viper QoP and even SM i am not sure if he wins.

                                                          nami

                                                            Viper played right wins pretty much everything in my opinion.

                                                            What the heck is SM?

                                                            Zenoth

                                                              Skywrath Mage?

                                                              Viper played right gets crushed by Razor played right.

                                                              Well Dorkly, in TI3 Yamateh's Bloodseeker absolutely crushed Fata's Puck mid. Crushed as in Yamateh got 3-4 creeps for every 1 creep that Fata's Puck got. Don't forget at that point that Puck was Fata's signature hero. That was the old BS, before all the current buffs (which don't really affect his laning anyway).

                                                                  I guess it depends of how good is the bloodseeker player at last hitting

                                                                  btw do you guys think bloodseeker is going to be a top pick or ban in the next competitive games ? and zeus ? C9 is playing support zeus right now i think.

                                                                  Fpz

                                                                        Flyingpigs

                                                                          nami

                                                                            Because Sam most likely has not gone against BS as QoP before. I tried it out because in another thread he 'suggested' it.

                                                                            Vaikiss probably has.

                                                                            Sam's perspective is theoretical. In theory the range and shadowstrike would mean you could force the BS out of last hit range. Its a different case in execution. Now assume you picked up a Null Talisman and he has a stout shield. On average you'd be doing 49 dmg to him. At level one bloodbath regenerates 52.5 hp. That means for every CS he hits, you gotta hit him once.

                                                                            How many times do you think you'd get to hit him before you take a ton of damage from creep aggro? Heavy harass usually pushes the lane out as well. He heals for 105 hp per creep level 5 onwards. Throw in those occasional silences and you can't stop him at all for certain waves.

                                                                            Zenoth had an MMR of 5600~ and I had MMR of 3900~, even for him he could not always control the lane equilibrium and many times it pushed over in our 1v1.

                                                                            Overall, I think its better if you tried it out with an equally skilled BS and you would realize its not what most of this people think.

                                                                            Born

                                                                                  Kryptnyt

                                                                                    Even if you do win the lane as a qop, seeker is going to counter you in teamfights anyway later, so there's that. Rupture is not your friend. Silence is not your friend either. Thirst means you'll never escape by juking.

                                                                                    This comment was edited

                                                                                      Qop on lane is really strong vs bloodseeker if you actually max out your Shadow strike and you know how to harass. Rest is just mechanical skill and a little of brain. But later in fights bloodseeker is your worst enemy, no doubt about it. Silence and rupture counter her hard.

                                                                                      This comment was edited

                                                                                        BS is OP as fuck this patch, he is my new ember spirit

                                                                                        FaTe

                                                                                          If you just dagger bs from the get go and go ballistic on the right clicks I'm pretty sure bs is fucked. Also, learn to creepblock. I highly doubt you play against players like arteezy and shit. When bs comes to last hit creeps and you think you can't deny it then just right click him. Anyway just keep creeps on your side of the river and you win. You should learn how to aggro creeps to move them towards your tower too. Your objective is just to get farm mid, not kill bs. Push lanes get runes with maxed scream of pain and harrass with that too
