General Discussionany advice on slark pls

spam Q and W

Roll your face over keyboard and win will come.

I ll help you, added

Soultrap is right the hero is literally among the easiest to play and snowball. Kind of similarly asking for advice on how to play Bloodseeker.

y cant u just hit ur pounce purge debuffs and kill heroes its not even hard

well i just asking the way of thinking with the hero not how to combo how to farm etc
just like u have to know when to roam, when to gank, when to play aggressively and when just farm with mirana or when to infest and walking around with LS blah blah...
can anyone give a tips?

The key on slark is decision.

Slark is a hero which works almost all the time, when given the right items, time and decisions. The reason you suck so much as slark is because you lack the decision making.

slark can also be totally useless when facing for example bloodseeker
(i don't call about his thirst, only noob fail to that) but his fucking silence...

^
well his thrist does have an impact, if you play against a BS lothars is a must buy item.

NEVER

BUY

LOTHARS

and dont use ult right after you jump in thats just stupid. ive seen ALOT of people (even pros) do it ffs

@blunt
yea u are just absolutely right.i know that i don't have any idea what time to do what job with slark
and dat 37% winrate is just well deserved

if you play against bs, lothars isn't needed, you just need to know how to manage your life more effectively

Blink dagger slark is becoming increasingly popular as a second/third item purchase as a replacement for Shadow Blade.

i feel like people go blink way more often than they should

it's like "the pro item"

same thing with drums in this meta

anyone who builds it is pro

Or maybe people are realising how good the item actually is?

Well i like drums because i waste a lot of mana

and S&Y because gotta go fast

btw slark is not as easy as people want to believe, its easy to win with him once you know the hero but that doesnt mean that the hero itself is easy.

dont pick him its not worth it

unless u play in trenches then it doesnt matter what u do u will win 99% fo the time unless ur terribad

Why the hate for SB slark? I find it pretty good for pubstomps

never really played the hero but interested in playing it. Rihgt now I would go Treads - Wand - Sblade - Yasha - basher - skadi - abyssal, bfly
Obviously getting a BKB when enemy heroes are magic damage/stun heavy.
Any thoughts?

orb of venom is the key trust me go with that item for 50 min even you dont go skadi

You're not really having fun with the guy unless you go Mask of Madness on him.

^ dis.

Mom slark is OP vs retards, but if the enemy team is fine, they'll punish you

pick slark
go offlane
between first and ten minute chase kills
between ten and twenty farm their jungle and push their offlane with your max level dark pact
after twenty minute do what you want. you will win anyway

watch my replays boy

PUrGE DEbuffs WIn GAME

Vaikiss's blink Slark is pretty good, definitely worth checking out.

what is wrong with shadowblade on slark?

Not a pro item or nothing, but given that slarks ulti cant be revealed, people are less likely to dust or sentry you.

just went 20/0/13 on slark.tks alot for advices and in-game replays, guys

Slark is easy, but dont be stupid. Only reason slark loses is because he is dumb or reckless.

First game Slark in 3 months (around the time when I realized I was horrible and wanted to improve)

What could I have done more? I played offlane and had no idea what to build on him besides shadow blade.
