Slark is great at being alone, be it farming, pushing or ganking. Drums is good for none of those things, really. It's ok, because Drums are a great items, but not ideal in most cases. ??? He's really good at early fighting. His strongest timing is his maxed nukes. | ||

His nukes are great when you want to gank, but in an "even" fight, he just dies to 2 nukes. Combined with the fact that he needs to get in melee range to do anything, I don't think he's the hero you want in an early fight. | ||

That's where he thrives best actually. Level 10-11 Slark is the GG timing. maxed nukes, 1 level passive and ult is where he'll rip. In fact even earlier at Level 7 is good enough too. Maxed pounce and 1 level each on passive, pact and ult is already strong. | ||

He's obviously a fast farmer, but if you're purely farming, you won't gain an advantage over a carry with a stronger lategame that buys farming items. The biggest thing about Slark's baseline farming ability being so high is that it enables him to farm as fast as farming carries while still buying fighting items and going to fights. If you don't go to those fights, you're not leveraging that advantage. | ||

If you have solo exp with decent farm (treads, magic stick, pms, and lvl 7). You can pretty much kill anyone u want, given they dont have a escape mechanism. You dont need a "big item" to get kills. So drums in this situation would be godlike good. | ||

It's just that if you build drums, you want to fight and you have to look for fights and almost his entire ultimate is wasted that way, you won't really use your imba regen that effectively, the vision detection isn't that useful. I think as a solo ganker the hero is much better utilized as a whole. I'm definitely going to give it a shot, tho. The passive component of Slark's ultimate is still useful this way, and it actually makes far more use of the active component to use it as a major teamfight cooldown that should be used to force fights whenever its up. | ||

It is used, but not as much as when you're farming the jungle and ganking. | ||

I guess it's too many intangibles, I can totally imagine a matchup where you want to teamfight with drums and matchups where you want to gank with a shadowblade. | ||
