Slark in General Discussion

    the question is is slark really good or he just get picked because hes fun to play ?

    carries are very boring to play with for for example am wk jugg and ...

    so probably slark is the only fun carry to play with

    as you can see here http://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/meta slark has the lowest winrate at +4k or +5k games between all other carries suck as naix sven am morph

    i think slark got too much nerf and he's not a good hero anymore but he just get picked because hes much more funnier that other carries i think there's always a better option to pick instead slark sometimes i just say well if i pick sven or naix i probably get much higher chance to win but fuck it lets pick this fishy fishy

    at my mmr(5800) i have the highest winrate against slark and the lowest win rate when i have slark in my team

    update :

    some more about slark and +5k meta : hes standing at the 3rd place of most picked heros at +5k but 70th place as winrate
    morph standing at the 7th most picked but he has the highest win rate after sven luna and drow between safe lane carries

      I'm sure first pick Slark is garbage even in pubs where that hero is more obnoxious due to his skillset. But if you get last pick Slark in an appropriate game he is really strong. He is much like Storm where idiot players forget that it can solo kill you once it has items and they just run down sidelanes and into jungle and feed you until the game is basically unloseable.

        ^ i agree that slark could be a nightmare at some situations but the problem is at +5k games slark is the 3rd most picked hero so basically +5k players think he works in every game but according to this link http://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/meta thats totally wrong and they know it but they still keep picking him everygame because hes funny

                        feel realised

                          Slark became a bad carry after all the nerfs, when the enemy team picks slark as carry, im glad of it.

                            @Mashiro his responses are funny, even if you get raped (I'm not implying rape isn't fun).

                              How is Slark fun to play? I know "fun" is definitely subjective, but I don't know how people can find that hero more fun than Jugg, Naix or even Sven.

                                Ppl counter him very hard. Thats the reason of low winrate

                                      Slippery heroes are really fun. Used to like sand king a lot Becuz he is a ninja

                                        Jug is fun cuz he can fight at any early or late . I dunno slark is my most played hero I played him before he was meta and found him ok when I tried him some when he was meta but already seemed weaker since everyone got used to playing against him . Now after nerfs I don't bother playing him anymore even though I still think he's good I prefer playing other carries now . Imo I think people try hard vs slark due to getting stomped by him in the past and to top it off he's a bit weaker now too.

                                            So you think rape is fun? Weren't you raped in prison or something? You had a shiv up yours, so something loosened it up beforehand.

                                                but you know, he is kinda strong in the right hands
                                                (just like any other hero)

                                                Dire Wolf

                                                  I think slark is kind of deceptive cus he's a pretty awful offlaner, yet pubs run him there, and he blows early, he really needs those levels and skills and he needs farm. He's deceptive cus he can come out and solo kill carries with double his net worth with just shadow blade and echo sabre or basher, but he BLOWS without those couple items, he is squishy and lacks dmg and will die without ult. So yeah he comes online fast but he is a very weak carry before that.

                                                    eclessia

                                                      Same as PL,slark is a very situational pick that excels at being the final nail in the coffin in draft,they are so easy to counter but pretty much seals the deal on the right team against the right opponent,but overall the hero is quite weak all around

                                                      veri

                                                        i love slark but he's definitely not strong enough to be considered first pick material

                                                        あなたの心は私のもの

                                                          main problem with slark is that he is really frail early game, against ranged heroes due to his low armour? Like weaver with points in geminite could zone him out from mid totally? (it's a question)

                                                          Against melees he can just trade hits easily with essence shift though(with more points in it early on it must be hell)...

                                                          I feel like I only lose with slark if I have rough early game (like 1vs2 safelane (no supp vs dual off)), otherwise min 10-12 SB seals the deal, lul.
