Best way to counter Slark?
Slark has been bothering me for a while, no matter what alliances I run I just can't seem to pin him down before he reaches the 2K DPS and kills everyone.
No matter what, if I have a Doom or Shadow Demon they just won't cast on him, if I have a strong backline they'll end up feeding him attack speed, if I have a strong frontline Slark will kill my underlord then proceed to kill my Knights or Warriors in a matter of seconds, and I have yet to mention the absolute clown show the game becomes when he gets a Mask of Madness.
His pounce also completely disables any frontliner I'd put at the back to shield my more fragile heroes, as it disarms targets in an AOE. As for items both Scythe and Euls only seem to delay the inevitable, so what if I have KotL Scythe him only for no one else to jump on the occasion?
What's the best way to counter him? There's no way to make my heroes target him first and unlike Bloodseeker, Slark scales stupidly well late.

Try to take hex, and take for hero which stay behind all of your heroes. Slark jump to back. Easy control slark. But it is a matter that slark is imbo)

set up your tanky stunner to the back row, or yet take up the item"scythe of vyse" that hex the first enemy who attacked the wearer. and pray to god its not a level 2 slark with mask of madness

Yeah tht's what I've been trying to do, since I either run Mages+spirits or Trolls+Knights/Savages, the ones at the back are very squishy heroes like KotL or Dazzle and even when I do get the scythe, they're always the only ones to try and kill him while my frontline stays focused. As for stuns, CK, Wd and CM NEVER target him, they always stun some random Nyx at the other end of the board while Slark is literally at 2K DPS right next to them.

You cant silence slark LoL.

However you can counter slark by placing a target dummy at the back of your team, slark will get taunted and target the dummy instead, and will gain you a lot of time to kill slark. You can also place your team at bottom right/left corner and clump them together, this way slark will jump right at the front of your team, another way to counter slark is to put a stunner or disabler as a bait at the back for slark, then it will disable slark, example of this disablers are (crystal maiden, druid( if druid gain full mana, his summon will root the target), tiny)
