EPTWhy isn't Slardar considered a good pick? His abilities are team-centric and also able to semi-carry. His AOE stun is very good since it's 2.5 seconds, physical damage, and even has 2 second slow follow up. Sprint and Bash are self explanatory, and his ultimate is pretty crazy...

I think Slardar is a good naix counterpick, doesn't care about the magic immunity, and can take him down fast. | ||

Well a Slardar pick isn't meant to hard carry the whole team, but rather as a semi-carry along with the hard carry. I imagined it as boosting the minus armor of SF or TA, not to mention the true sight effect. | ||

I guess too much pub stomping with the hero lol. Well I guess his major weakness is having 0 ranged damage. I do not see why you should pick him over sven, who has a ranged stun, better farming abilities and far higher potential damage. Yes sprint gives more movement speed than warcry, but warcry also gives you a great survivability boost and affects your team just as much as you. Bash is only single target, in teamfight a cleaving sven is a greater. DK as (imho) another comparable hero can be relevant without having to be close to enemies due to his ultimate. | ||

Very good mid game powerhouse that lends a bit of power to the common push strats currently in use. | ||
