General DiscussionSlark counter??

Tiny, good Pudge, Queen of Pain with Silence, Antimage, Void if he's retarded.

good on your, the 2 heroes that diserve the most a nerf are slark counter (void and doom)

void will shit on slark and so as doom as well as blood cyka

LC, burst damage

Antimage , Void , and FUCKING AXE COUNTER SLARK FROM THE FUCKING BEGGINING TO LATE GAME. slark cannot farm , cannot hit axe , cannot purge call , basically a dead fish , oh and huskar is gonna work too since slark cannot do burst physical damage

i like the name at my top btw lawl. jk huskar already balanced and well place for me

Slark shits on Axe lategame actually.He's free essense shift bag for him, if he itemizes good for it.

Antimage does counter him, but it can go both ways. It depends on team.

Void counters him, but Slark can also kill him. Kinda same as for antimage.

Even in laning phase, good Slark will find the way to kill Axe once, and after that it'll be noticable easier to fuck him again.

I don't think there's direct counter to him if Slark is good player.

Thanks guys

doom him, chrono him

how does doom counter him?
doesn't he like.. run away when he jukes in the middle of trees? or am i missing something?

dunno, any hero who have long range disable or disables that ignore pact is good against slark

now when i think about it, i don't understand how void hard counters slark either

Invoker: Just deals with him very well, cause he's invoker.

Storm: Fast enough of orchid (especially BloodThorne) you can shit on him before he dark pacts or ults. He can also escape pounces thanks to ball lightning, or chase Slark very well before he disappears into the fog of war when your team is chasing him.

I really want to say BloodSeeker, but he was just nerfed so hard, and didn't really get ANY indirect buffs from items, but maybe a good BloodSeeker can just focus on rupturing him all game, and annoying the shit out of him when he can't heal cause of thirst.

i wouldn't call him a hard counter but void is pretty obnoxious to play against if you're slark

time dilation makes you have to go manta or bkb if you want to be able to reliably dark pact/leap

void can easily escape from your own leap/pact combos without taking damage

if you get chronoed you're pretty much dead if his team is with him. best case scenario is that you shadow dance right before he chronos and pray that you can get out of your sticky situation afterwards

Or you eat a satyre, and purge slark so he cann't run :D (troll is enough though)

You'll pee on him during laning phase anyway

Axe is strong against slark with the new blademail and if axe gets force staff which is an ok item on axe he can call you during your ult and drag you back with your high ms. And even if he doesnt get that golden chance, his call is more than enough to fuck slark up. Doom stops slark from engaging but probably not enough to kill him like he kills all other heroes. Void's time dilation is very annoying against slark if he catches him while his spells are on cd which is oretty common not to mention chronosphere and time walk which makes void the ultimate slark counter.
Riki also rapes slark.

All you need to do is get the jump on slark first, doom purty good, axe purty good, slardar purty good, also making sure he doesnt get pick offs and free farm is always an option

PHANTOM LANCER IS ASS RAPE FOR SLARK

Doom, Void, Riki messes with his early farm and still annoys him late game as well.

AA also kinda destroys slark.

Antimage if your looking for carry , Riki or void if offlane .

slark is actually pretty weak in lane early, he's squishy, doesn't do that much dmg since a lot of his gank dmg depends on burst from abilities mid game which aren't leveled yet, and essence shift later, which isn't stacked in lane. So make his lane hard, duo offlanes that pressure hard. Slark can farm decently but doesn't recover like a sven can. Fuck his lane and put him behind and make it hard, then don't feed him cus he can solo kill most supports with just shadowblade.

Chaos Knight, If you don't stun while dark pact is active .

Whenever an enemy picks tinker or slark I just pick safelane or mid storm and it's ezpz

TIMBERSAW

techies

Slark cant do shit without his regen

Gosh people u counter slark with supports mostly, not carries. 2 supports in team that can stack disables after he debuffs the first one, is usually enough.

eg. Lion, bane, lina

Also good silencers or with some AOE

- Ebola spirit
- Puck
- Quop

slark is good escaper hero.
harrass slark before him get shadow blade or blink dagger.
usually slark play at safelane, ur team should pick ranged carry.
heroes like necrophos, windranger, and venomancer.

slark can detect ward, so put ward on unusual place.

if slark already fat, just stick together with ur teammate.

slark is overrated, just have disables and he is good to die.

Antimage, apparition, axe. Thats all. Silences sometimes might work but i wouldnt recommend to rely on it

Void, doom, magnus, winter, blood, PL, AA, AM and many.

Problem with slark is he is basically impossible to counter 1v1. It requires teamwork which is not available in lower level pubs. Furion with orchid and any gank hero is going to wreck slark

good Disruptor.

Faceless void is a good counter and he is in meta

And the problems and threads with slark shall continue till he gets the biggest nerf OSfrog has ever given to a hero!

bs with aghs. hurrdurr
