General Discussionwhat do you pick vs earth spirit

You get BKB and then the hero is literally a support with just a force staff.

by the time you get bkb THE GAME FUCKING ENDS

but his ult goes through bkb anyway

Anything rly.... best counter is to outplay him and evade him

huskar

Huskar is crap in any 5k+ matches

wat no

6500 slahser plays huskar sometimes

oracle

Vroksnak says pick husk

grim says dont

i like vroksnak. oracle+huskar=death to the phonies

@DRANK VODKA WON DOTKA
++++++ ORACLE

slark and huskar are probably the 2 carry that works best against earth

Lifestealer, although you can't let him silence you.

i dont think u can kill people with naix when theres an earthspirit on the other team
oh waits thats every hero in the game

This is why ES is OP, you cannot counter him.

did someone say counter?
DOOM IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER KIDS.

kotl with mana drain, silencer, huskar

Slark as a counter to ES coming from matrice? color me intrigued and pls explain because I thought es was one of the few strong counters slark had with all his aoe status bullshit

@matrice really? i also thought slark gets countered by es if he gets silence off before dark pact

dotabuff has slark listed as ES's best match up, with husker, ursa and drow listed as his worst match ups. although I cant see how ursa is good against him, it seems like ES would just push him away or roll away himself, so that one might just be deep trench ES players trying to right click deep trench ursa players.

slark doesn't give a shit about es spells cuz he has 1st skill, and if he is under the ultimate debuff he can just hide in the trees and regen through it, after that es ez kill.

He isn't good against ES, like almost nobody is, but still one of the best because of his regen and dispel.

He is counter by silence hex bkb and outplaying him when u gank stay near and stand in his face when he roll just like u should do when ganking slark
imo he is really strong but the thing that make him even stronger is that ppl dont know how to play against him
Im not saying he is not op he have done 2.3k dmg on me before only with ulti ...

@Allison
for you to not get Darkpact off, Earth Spirit has to play through a slew of animations. Granted, Dotabuff statistics say that Slark is one of the worst heroes against him, so there's that. Apparently ursa is a counterpick, wat?

I guess Ursa is a counter since you can always have overpower on unless purged when the silence goes on him (10 second cooldown/15 second duration)

sky>es since forever
cent also good, basically every hero who has 5k base hp
