General Discussionwhy do i need to play slark ever ?

are u 3800 mmr?

4600

just give a good answer wtf u mean im 3800 ok im 3800 can u just answer now

hes okay

1)this post could be easily posted by a 3k judging from these things u mentioned above mr 4600

2)i dont give Good answers to Invalid Questions

3) le dotabuff will reply to u soon with some reasons i guess

his ulti makes him basically immortal and able to be everywhere if you play him correctly as well as pop squishy supports with extreme ease

you dont need to play slark ever :)

but you will certainly get raped by a few

this hero should be removed from dota

reese

take that back right now and we wont have a problem

Lol with with spaming slark every fucking monkey could get to 5k mmr hes so freaking overpowerd. U just cant die with this ulti. And u can stack up tons of dmg with passive. But no need to pick him cuz he makes games way to easy

fun hero

@gg its over [Again]

Now u get it why i called u retarded?

Is shadow pact dark pact or shadow dance? Either way I don't see how they're bad late game when dark pact removes stuns/bashes and shadow dance makes you immune to enemy right-clicks and target spells while healing you for a ton of health (since it's based on your max hp, it's not a static regen like alchemist ultimate). Why do you want BKB so badly on him btw? I always hear slark pickers hating that item, since you have so many ways to avoid being disabled anyway (dark pact + shadow dance).

youre joking right? hero can be played at 7k mmr. let alone 4k.

dark pact useless late game? lol. one of most broken skills you can have on a hero.

OK u have 3 games with the hero and u call it shit just coz u lost 2 games
1) U need to play more of the hero to realise his strengths
2) U dont build a daedalus on slark
3) Slark is broken against squishy supports
4) I know this hero seems really weak but once u start playing him hes so fun and u snowball faster than tusk so i recommend u try more of this hero instead of calling him shit after three games

one of the best heroes that has always been good in a pub

and idk where have you gotten the idea that hes shit against tanky heroes

and nice daedalus i guess

i played 150 games on him its my smurf account
this is my 2 recent games on him i just played them today
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2002000756
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2001718378

i won them

i got daedalus cuz i was winning the game any way and daedalus is good it hit 900crit just with sny and shadow blade but the problem is low attack speed on slark so daedalus is not good

( im playing slark right now again but its gg team picked 5 carry and double mid :||) shit happens np

whats the point of this thread again?

whats the point of your life?

You're nowhere near 4600 mmr with the way you play and the way you analyze Slark.

Slark > You.

yeah whats the point of ur life ???

damn my support slark didnt work http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2002185607
after i saw 4 carry trying hard to win and no one just give up i said damn we need a support for this carries so i just support them

'slow attack speed'

get a moon shard...watch the rape commence...i get it after i get my sny, blink or sb, basher....maybe after bkb if i absolutely need it tho that comment on top is kind of right i hate making bkb on slark

by this time itself i can take down almost all the heroes in the game with the full slark treatment

you need to choose your targets well as a slark...make sure the aoe damage dealers / stuns are out of your way or your're dead

try to remember that shadow dance last only 4 seconds unconditionally you need to use it to kill off a target while keeping some spare time to get away too

if you get locked down you're dead 100% kind of like ember

oh and yea needing to explain why slark is as good as he is? you definitely dont sound like a 4.6k guy....by that time you should have a good understanding of every hero

and even if you suck with it...dont tell me youve never gone up against a rampaging slark...it happens all the time

so i really have no idea why you;re just stating plainly what a shit hero he is..thats really weird and kinda retarded

@live your life

for jesus sake can u stop playing slark if 400 games on slark couldent raise ur mmr up to 3k you should stop picking it
just learn something idiot
45% invoker winrate last played 2 month ago thank god at least ur learned u should stop picking him cuz its not 3k hero

@doofy
im talking about slark in competitive scene try hard not 2k or 3k mmr

well you said 'why should 'I' ever pick slark'...so....do you play dota competitively?

the point of my life is to read threads that have no point, like this one.

and yeah you asked why would you pick it, and now talking about competitive.
so you are a competitive player?

Midas is good on Slark as a farming item
And he is a fun hero when you can pounce and dark pact properly

didn't you folks realise that 4k is competitive

he's actually really good vs tanky heroes cus he steals all their stats over a prolonged fight.

amateurs

dark pact late game is useful to remove debuffs, stuns and stuff...

@gg its over [Again]
Glimmer must be core item on support Slark, I guess.

@soultrap
matrice plays glimmer slark all the time, afair, but its pos.1 slark.

Don't mind this guy, he is digging up is own shame hole faster than i thought.

http://www.dotabuff.com/players/10292872
14780 kills and 1300+ games with slark and counting.
Cant play complicated heroes due to my age restriction (slow reaction etc etc)
Tbh slark is very fragile early levels, can snowball mid game if everything goes well. Basically slark is a support raper, also he can use his essence swift on tanky targets to earn many stack so he can take care the rest. he is very weak vs pl or am and whoever drain his mana. Also in most case he is useless vs 5 man on late game if everyone gets fat.

tbh most of the people play slark as a roaming support with shadow blade rush so it's fucking easy to kill the 700 hp retard that is always alone in your jungle trying to find kills
unless your supports are retarded and have no awareness

Glimmer is better for teamfights with lots of AOE nukes flying around while SB is better for solo pickoffs and is overall better item and Glimmer is kinda situational cause it's big manacost.

And idk if this is some kind of a bait thread or what, only place where Slark has limited success is competitive, and that may also be cause most of them still build Midas for god know what reason.

This hero is kinda perfect for pubs, be it 2k 4k or 7k pubs, a good Slark can win any game and there are lot of 7k Slark pickers that are having lots of success with the hero.

It is true that he may not be that good like before when you could firstpick him and win any game, but he's still among strongest pub heroes.

His turnrate is shitty tbh

Hes really only good if you snowball and start 3/4-shotting people, which he can definately do against some teams. Obviously he is shit against someone like anti-mage who wont care about leap or getting away from you when you ult, but slark, like every hero in dota can be the perfect pick for some games. I dont think spamming him will result in a good winrate.

ROFL, I can't believe what most of you writing here : ) Slark bad late game carry??? Dark pact and pounce worthless spells? essence shift useless? Slark only good if you snowball ? glimmer must have item? Slark bad vs tanky heroes? lol
Honestly, OP is just tr0ll.

@ konops

+1300 games and you still don't know how to beat Am and PL with slark? How about :

vs AM : PT> S&Y >skull basher > moonshard >abbysal >mkb + sb/blink (but first farm 2-3 core items)

vs PL : PT > S&Y > Mjollnir > Skadi > MKB + sb/blink

EZ!

P.S. Btw, essence shift one of the best passives in dota.

With similar amount of farm and proper items, Slark will rape Am and PL, fact.
