Anyone experience that abandoning is glitched? I had 2 guys leave my team/disconnect, countdown for 5 minutes started for the first leaver, but after the full 5 minutes, the abandon message didn't come up and the game wasn't safe to leave yet, but the player isn't in the game anymore (the red broken cable is on the hero's icon up top).

Now the second leaver abandons the game, but this time, no countdown starts, and the same thing about having the broken cable icon as well. What gives?

This happened about in about 3 separate instances in 3 separate games.

Some say valve's servers are having problems with the massive influx of new players.

He's just really really squishy, and his stat growth is below average

I predict his winrates to be comparable to meepo's post release rates. Maybe 2-3 % above.

His laning is ass.
Squishy as fuck.
Stat growth is laugheably bad.
Leap isn't super hard to avoid.
It doesn't prevent stuff like forcestaff, leaps and blinkz.
And any amount of truesight renders his ulti a non-factor in teamfights.(Sents and gems, dusts aren't very effective)

Not sure he's really THAT bad. His laning isn't great but he does have an escape mechanism and if he has a good lane partner he can initiate low level ganks pretty well. Also, he starts with more HP than a lot of other heroes.

If only his stat growth was a tad bit better or maybe his ulti make him completely undetectable, though that could be broken

You can't really give good stats growth to a hero who can literally have infinite agility.

It's not like all the Dota heroes are balanced. I guess that's the good and bad of the game.

In competitive play, it's usually just the same pool of heroes that are either banned/picked.

Unfortunately, there are also a pool of heroes where they are no good in pub either. Slark is one of them.

He has 21 base strength, it's more than most agility heroes but he's melee and starts with 1 armor. He really is that bad.

Just finish my first game as SLARK , ended with 2-5-19 . Hero is super fun for me .
Pounce oh man.. love that skill , me and axe simple own Brood and sven pretty hard . I jump hold one , make some dmg , axe doing rest of the job .
I was thinking that Slark is nuker.. ( diidnt play dota 1 ) , but imo he is superb early/ mid game Initiator , what item build is the best for him ? , "sugested" from the game ? , or some other ?


He's the hero version of Visage's familiars (do a little damage then give the other team a shitload of gold.)


HEY HEY!

HOLD UP THERE!

Visages Familiars can stun. Lets not even begin comparing them to Slark, those minions pull their weight.

Slark is okay at winning lanes more, he can't win them himself if that makes sense. Pounce is really a great skill against a lot of overextended enemies. And low armor enemies benefit a lot from stout shield. Essence shift is also a ridiculous skill at low levels, you just need somebody to keep'em in place for you, I'm thinking a lane with veno would be nice

Since IceFrog is in China I wonder if he'll be at the WCS World Championship.
