[QUOTE=Yahnich;49522735]if u rly hate slark and want to make him sad literally just pick spirit breaker[/QUOTE] Or just pick an escape. :pudge:

Solar crest helps agaisnt slark as well, and halberd disarm can't be purged. Meanwhile, yet another game where I'm actually playing well and I get flamed by a butthurt support, sick of this attitude. I'm not asking people to kiss my ass, but not treat me like I'm a 0/15/0 meepo who's feeding couriers holy shit.

Pick doom, get aghs and doom his ass

[QUOTE=Yahnich;49522735]if u rly hate slark and want to make him sad literally just pick spirit breaker[/QUOTE] Or Void

PA Agh's: When Mortred uses Phantom Strike on an enemy, every unit in range will be affected by the 4 buffed attacks of the spell

Or Distractor, he can't purge Glimpse and Scepter fucks him up

Lion is pretty effective, has an aoe ground stun, and a hex + mana drain combo severely weakens Slark, especially in his ability to reinitiate [editline]13th January 2016[/editline] Finger of Death being able to nuke that squish fish works too

[QUOTE=Quq;49521032]you can make any hero sound ridiculous by exaggeratedly listing all of their strengths, which is essentially what you did[/QUOTE] Elder Titan is honestly gamebreaking. He's got a 2/3/4/5 second sleep in an AoE that also deals 80/90/100/110 or 160/180/200/220 damage, a scouting tool that also deals damage and increases his movespeed and attack damage for everything it hits AND can use his sleep and aura, the aura that reduces magical resist by 12/19/26/33% and armor by 40/60/80/100%, and his ultimate that creates a line effect that deals 30/40/50% of the max health of anyone affected, as well as pulls them all to the center of the line and slows them by 30/40/50% for 3/4/5 seconds, and if he has Aghs, disarms them for 3/4/5 seconds as well, through magic immunity unlike any other disarm in the game.

Troll Warlord is honestly gamebreaking. He can switch between Melee and Ranged form that gives him a MS bonus 10/20/30/40 and a bash in melee form 0.8/1.2/1.6/2 and does 20/30/40/50 damage with no internal cooldown. He has a slow and a blind in a single spell that don't share a cooldown and combined do 300 magic damage at level 4. Fervor lets you gain attack speed 15/20/25/30 on anything you attack, even towers! If he slows you you're guaranteed to die and theres no way to fight back with a blind and that much AS. His ulti gives him and his teammates even more AS 60/120/180 globally with a 30 sec CD.

Yeah and now he's mediocre.

slark sucks. he needs a meta where carries are passive and supports roam frequently, that's the only time he really shines. in this meta (plus with pounce damage nerfs) he never gets a good chance to single out supports, so it's probably for the best that he still has his escape tech to be somewhat decent.

New update. RIP Oracle bio names.

Did the serves die, or was it just SA? Couldn't reconnect to my game :v: [img]http://puu.sh/muGzi/61d71c648f.jpg[/img] [editline]13th January 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Skunky;49524529]New update.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;49523664]Or Void[/QUOTE] you can shadow dance before chrono and be unpunchable considering the cast animation on chrono its pretty reliable too. i always picked slark into void carry [editline]13th January 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Yahnich;49522735]if u rly hate slark and want to make him sad literally just pick spirit breaker[/QUOTE] idk why everyone rated disagree, he can purge charge as you come in but you can still keep vision on him for long periods of time, and after he purges charge (and still takes damage) you can then just rebash him with ultimate not to mention youre unkillable since you can charge out of leash

I'm amazed, i went agaisnt a tinker who bought like 4 salves during laning phase.

What you described sounds as if Slark was going 1v1 against the Spirit Breaker, which is clearly not the case most of the time. The only cases where it's 1v1 is where SB is charge ganking, and then your charge would be on CD so you can't escape pounce. If you want Vision there are other heroes that do it easier and better (Zeus(?), Clockwork, Bloodseeker, Slardar, etc.)

Zeus's vision is way too short for what you'd want against Slark, Clockwerk can only provide vision in a specific area some of which he NEEDS to be flaring no matter what, and Slark can just dispel Amplify Damage and Track. Spirit Breaker and Bloodseeker are the only heroes who'd provide the kind of vision you'd want against Slark. Also SB almost never goes 1v1 unless he's fed, he'd always have at least some backup against Slark.

[QUOTE=devon_wargod;49525408]Also SB almost never goes 1v1 unless he's fed, he'd always have at least some backup against Slark.[/QUOTE] Ok so I was wrong about most of my post, but you'd be surprised at what 2k players would do, me included

Wonder how long until someone picks DP in a tournie and starts the "monkey see monkey do" effect.

Plenty of teams have been picking DP in tournaments. OD is the one that people need to watch out for.

winter terrain when couldn't they just pack up the winter map and sell it as winter terrain? i absolutely hate deserts

[QUOTE=Yahnich;49527389]spirit breaker ruins the hero in every single way, you can't escape from him, you're too squishy until you have like skadi +sny to even survive a gank by him unless you use ult which means he's forcing out your ult every time he charges you and you can't counterkill the hero at all (he probably has backup too even) clockwerk vision sucks vs slark, slardar vision gets purged, zeus sort of works but thats only if he's like in the trees and waiting for pounce to go off cooldown again but the hero gets eaten by slark and bloodseeker just sucks as a hero now playing vs spirit breaker is actually almost unplayable as slark and it forces a linkens sphere out of you which is honestly the worst[/QUOTE] Wasn't it just said that Slark can purge charge? I'm confused now.

Oh in that case sure, Spirit breaker works very well.

This took me way too long to make [img]http://i.imgur.com/zfeAg22.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Yahnich;49528582]you should've changed it to smth like "and then we'll do magic right"[/QUOTE] It was going to be "and then we'll shnap him right" but I figured that'd be too obscure for this thread

[QUOTE=red_pharoah;49528283]Oh in that case sure, Spirit breaker works very well.[/QUOTE] Actually, Slark can counter SB really easily. If he activates dark pact ~1 sec before charge hits, he will purge the charge stun and before SB can nether strike him, Slark can just ult and TP away.
