            not if you're playing them

              PL is pretty decent vs them. Slark seems like he's really shitty against them - can't manfight Troll/Jugg and Sniper's shrapnell makes it hard to go in and out of fights for the regen, since he can keep vision on you at most times.

                slark counter meta crap in super late only
                pl is relatively good if you can handle him, but still not ideal

                  Slark rapes Troll/Jugger. Don't know what ur talking about. Only problem is that they can secure early rosh & are much stronger in early-mid game. In late game Slark wins.

                    pl is king, slark is good if you can take long fights and continuously disengage/engage vs them

                      PL counters jugg ult and can manfight. With diffusal he can beat troll too depending on their farm, on equal farm i believe so.

                      Slark can beat troll and jugg early but late Troll will just perma bash him and jugg has better damage output.

                      To me on equal farm i would say:

                      PL = Troll > jugg > slark.

                      Slark just farms too slow, hes more of a hero farmer and if they all play safe he cant outfarm a troll or a jugg.

                        doest matter anymore, the patch is coming

                        slark is somehow good vs troll but also bad, its a carry vs a hardcarry so at some point he wont do shit unless he's gettin fed h24

                            no, they just need to nerf hard carries to balance the game

                                    idk kitrak I'm pretty sure ur better than me but is it really like that?
                                    from my experience slark will come from behind and kill one or two supps / squishy heroes but won't be able to manfight troll without ulti, and even with ulti you need to be quite farmed to bring him down

                                    Welt aus Eis

                                      i'm talking about troll only, slark beats jugg

                                      14

                                        You actually can manfight troll without ulti if u're lucky. Dark Pact purges his bash & miss chance. If u have abyssal it's gg for Troll, coz u bash nearly as hard as him, but also steal stats & have 4sec of immortality. Refresher Slark is probably the strongest 1v1 hero, besides refresher Void (even Doom is worse, coz u can just abyssal, ulti, refresh, abyssal, ulti & kill him in 10sec duration, before he can doom.

                                        CAN'T WIN

                                          yes

                                          ooooooooooo

                                              I mean yeah right after you get your SB you can solo kill Troll but later in the game like 25 to 40 min it gets really fucking hard, when both heroes are 5 slotted it gets easier for Slark again (abyssal + mkb)

                                              ooooooooooo

                                                  i've had like 1 game where i managed to farm aquila/midas/sb at 14 minutes

                                                  every other game as slark my lane was contested (either that or my supports were complete shit)

                                                  there's this grace period for troll when he gets sny + skadi and u can't do shit to him

                                                  5k, 6k are SUBHUMAN

                                                    oh and speaking of item timings, there's like 1 ally farming my jungle half the time so we have to share jungle resources and another who tp's to my safelane after feeding offlane 3x.

                                                    i'm not even sure how ur getting 18 min sb/midas/sny unless ur lane is absolutely uncontested, which hasn't happened to me ever

                                                        i've also seen bsj go manta first and skip lothars completely on slark

                                                        that guy is erratic, he can play very well or do some weird ass shit

                                                            it's not a bad item, i just thought getting it first was questionable (he wanted to dispel storm silence and i thought there were way better alternatives)

                                                              anyways tl;dr dota's fucking AWFUL and my mental health is recovering due to being AWOL
