Main bulk of draft is still omni od though. Slark is just there to create chaos and provide teamfight vision

how does Slark counter TB?
by disappearing when about to be sundered, and TB ends up sunder another teammate but Slark has accumulate stat-steal anyway?

Yeah i remember that along with c9's own counter to TB being a safelane riki (that was the old riki) but that was before this
broken reflection talent TB currently has.

Yep that's about it. Combined with bkb linkens he just becomes an impossible target for sunder.

He can't be targetted he draws focus from other heroes as well. Pretty much complete nuisance.

Slark when gets enough items can kill tanky heroes within the duration of the shadow thing.

It's a pretty good slark game so idk how the hero fairs against a normal lineup.

Slark is not easy hero to play though. I think practice is really needed to play and time his abilities. Unlike Sven for example than you can be good at just by imagining what to do.

Slark is 13-0-12 now

I don't think Slark completely "counters" TB but he does have the ability to hunt the TB when he is farming up and when you help him with some damage he can finish TB off in those situations or in fights. Back then the game wasn't obviously exactly the same so hard to precisely compare the pick, but Slark as a hero has some benefits against TB that other carries don't have

Slark aside, picking TB into OD and Lion is pretty brave from TNC

Noooo, we will no see more Slarks in pubs. Back to banning it again I guess. Or doing strong dual lanes against him. They had pretty strong supports this game to protect him and a bat is not going to be able to kill a Slark if both are even in levels.

Yeah i mean not really hard counter but his ability set makes him a pretty good hero against TB compared to other carries(like gyro or whatever). It can still go either way but slark certainly has the edge in a straight up brawl

It's still a pretty shit laner and hero in general. I'd still pick gyro over that hero 10/10

The main benefit slark brings is more macro based rather than teamfight.

I rate VG the most promising chinese team because they are probably the best chinese team in macro. Well they have a TI winning + finalist coach after all.

Different types, Slark is actually really good against Gyro for example.

Slark isn't a standard pick like before anymore, he is last pick material like Brood, Tinker etc, when you don't have enough counters as Lion and SS just shits on him, heroes that make Halberd too. Also his laning is buffed a lot in this patch since his base regen is buffed up to 2.75 hp/sec which is a lot for hero like Slark.
