    i just played my first 5 games as slark won all 5 even tho 3 of them team majorly fed, i didnt even have a learning curve or anything alll you do is spam q and know how to pounce, fucking need to be debuffed

      sniper also works in your bracket but it doesnt mean that the hero is objectively op. he's simply easy to use against not very competent players.
      on the other side, earthspirit should be a joke in your bracket, while in higher mmr games hes still strong as fuck after all the nerfs he got in the recent patches.

                that game was epic idk how we won 2v8 3 of my teammates were autisstic or something, i got commended for no flaming at them XD

                  slark is perfect for capitalizing on shitty coordination. You just kill supports until youre 4-5 slotted and win the game..

                    Just ban him every time u go to All pick xD

                    Whoregasm

                      im in his bracket, and earth spirit is my shit. Just depends on who you play against and how you play, in general if you have skill on skill based heroes in low bracket, you do well. If you play a general pub stomp hero in normal match making you will always almost win.

                                The only thing that gets slark is AOE disable that sits on the field like Black Hole, Chronosphere, and uhh... I guess Upheaval from warlock? That last one is not gonna happen. There needs to be more of this shit in the game, or Darkpact needs to be reworked to be less obnoxious, like not being able to darkpact out of stuff that is supposed to work like Beastmaster roar/ Reverse polarity. Silencing the fucker in between darkpacts can work. You're usually leashed and dead by then though. Not a fun hero to play against.

                                          Slark can't push well on his own, he can't take ancients well like Sven or gryo can, so he needs a lot of space to farm. He also isn't a very good hero to rosh early, he has bad stat growth, and he's very item dependent.

                                            Ez counter to slark are axe and tide especially if their supports are greedy (go jungle) or dont babysit the slark. win lane confirm

                                                  Nigga Slark hasn't had any buffs for the past 4 patches, the last time he got changed, it was a nerf 4 patches ago.

                                                    I always ban slark :D you cannot kill a fat one. stun but dark pact so he can leap and dagger away. Then after 10 seconds he comes back full health and can 1v3 you. You just can't touch him haha (the ulti of course). Unless extremely noob then u can win.

                                                                    Azryel

                                                                      Filthy

                                                                        STP

He is a "fair" hero because he is so stupidly easy to punish in lane with his poor health pool and doom tier armour along with being utterly useless when he is silenced making heroes with unpurgable silences like disruptor and riki very good against him.

                                                                          Arty

                                                                            Filthy

                                                                                  STP

                                                                                    A waifu a day keeps socie...

(haven't been watching pro dota much or playing ranked) Damn, maybe I should just start playing ranked again and claim my free MMR. I just hate spamming heroes, feels dirty, and feels like I didn't improve. I'm only spamming tinker now in pubs just cause I'm legitimately practicing the hero.
