Karkov: I'm like 90% sure that Sentries don't reveal Slark. No idea about smoke, but sentries have nothing on Slark's ult.

[umiman]

I believe you are correct but I'm not sure either. I don't really understand it myself.

I know gem doesn't reveal him.

It's so confusing.

[ukulele]

Slark ult cant be relvealed, its not an invis (he can even atack during it) what you can do and most people ignore its nuking/stuning him with AoE spells.

[Karkov]

... I have to get my friend and test all these things.  Well if Sentries don't reveal Slark, then Slark's a power-mancer who can be stopped only by liberal use of Void ult.

[Putnam]

This is why I always take Slark's ult in Ability Draft unless something more in-general useful (like Shukuchi, say) shows up. It's really damn good. You should probably take essence shift first if you're a ranged agility hero, though, I'd think. Yeah, Slark's ult explicitly says that he's "immune to detection".

[umiman]

I don't really mind his ult too much. 4 seconds of invulnerability more or less. Powerful but you can work around it. It's that freaking passive that gets me every time.

The only Slark game I ever played ended with all of us getting dagons: http://dotabuff.com/matches/211875718

Also I had no clue how to play him. Vladimirs and Manta? Wtf.

[Karkov]

Manta isn't a terrible item on Slark, extra movement speed, attack speed, and damage are all wonderful on him.  The split can get silences off of you so you don't get shut down and can't use your ult.  It's not something I'd take over a Skadi on him, but it's not a bad pickup.

[frostshotgg]

But but but, where is your heart? How are you supposed to maximally abuse his disgusting regeneration without a ridiculous health pool? 6 heart Slark is the only acceptable Slark.

So I just had one of the most frustrating games so far, we were losing initially and lost the bottom rax, then we started to get our act together and win teamfights, after wiping the enemy several times we rushed their base and it became a base trade, instead of attacking the throne our ranged carry decides to sit in front of the fountain which I suspect to wait for someone to respawn to pad kill stats...hence causing us to lose. It was stupid because the enemy throne was at less then 100 hp.

On another note...random deathmatch? interesting...it only apears when you select the single draft...almost as if its a glitch to be able to select it since its option normally doesn't appear there.

[Putnam]

ARDM appears if you click the area where its check mark will be when it's officially added. It's also randomly enabled when you save settings, I think, in order to test it. It's fun, you should try it.

[etgfrog]

yea...I tried it...its odd, makes trying to build items...a bit of a challenge as you don't know who your getting next if you go down.

So I just played a game as swagnus. With two battle furies I was getting into 1v4 fights and coming out with ultra kills.

[umiman]

Heh... reminds me of my favorite game as Magnus ever.

Was an ability draft game. I got bristleback, firefly, and chemical rage.

So basically I became Singed from LoL.

When I got my vanguard I was more or less immortal. At 14 minutes into the game I was sitting in the enemy fountain just relaxing.

One thing I noticed about Slark (for me personally,) is that, along with his lovely accent, I can never have an "okay" game as him. I either carry the team 25-3, diving into 3:1 engagements and snatching a kill before running away in a very macho fashion, or I die in every teamfight and get zero farm. Never the middle ground.

that's how it is for snowball heroes.
