Talk:Slark/Counters

Drow Ranger
I noticed this entry hasn't been updated since 2017. With the change to Marksmanship ignoring base armor and Multishot being an effective way to target Slark during Shadow Dance, Drow is really not a notable counter to Slark anymore. The matchup is a double edged sword, if Drow Ranger is able to silence the Slark in between Dark Pacts, he will quickly die to Marksmanship procs, otherwise the Slark is still just as adept as ever at jumping the Drow and disabling her Marksmanship.

Templar Assassin
i moved the section about TA to "Others" because according to dotabuff.com Slark only has a marginal advantage over her
 * Dotabuff's advantage rating doesn't fully compensate for win rate/player skill. I used to take the top/bottom heroes from the list until I realized they were based more on overall win rate. I'd prefer you spend your efforts on another hero page. This counters page is a model for other pages and I'd like to keep it perfect as a reference for other editors. - Lemoncake  (talk) 14:50, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

fatal bonds patch
Dispelling Fatal Bonds now also prevents damage from being spread to the respective hero instead of only preventing the hero from spreading received damage to the other bonded heroes. This should maybe be fixed in the Warlock entry in the "Good Against" section. 84.139.169.144

Arc Warden
Maybe Arc Warden could be added to heroes that Slark is good against. Flux and Spark Wraith are ineffective against Slark because of Pounce and Dark Pact, Magnetic Field because he is a melee hero, but most importantly, Arc Warden's typical splitpushing playstyle with his Tempest Double allows Slark to gain easy Essence Shift stacks, while most other heroes need to kill the Tempest double before it expires to get anything out of it.

Slardar
Maybe slardar should be added as counter: he has aoe stun during shadow dance and has spammable true sight with his ulti Feeder Castro (talk) 02:53, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Faceless Void
Maybe Faceless Void should be added as counter: he can easily escape pounce and finish him while in crono Feeder Castro (talk) 02:53, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
