How to counter Slark with another Hard carries?

[Q`Elz]

I'm a Slark user, i know the tricks and the items used by Slark and i must say that slark is a very Over powered Hard Carry. and now my question is how to counter Slark? Well in my experience with Slark, Bloodseeker and Juggernaut can't counter Slark (Blood's Rupture and Jugger's Omnislash is useless because of Slark's Regen when using his ultimate),Even PA and Void are quite weak when in fight with Slark (Slark can easily hit both heroes even if Blur and backtrack skill are maxed)... Any tips to counter Slark with another Hard carries? or maybe a good support to ease the fight againts Slark? i'm afraid that if i pick another Hero and the other team picks Slark and i can't fight him..

Blood is ♥♥♥♥ after mid game. At least Slark can do something with his essence shift and pounce.

He can escape cogs by leaping away

Not if he get`s stunned 24/7.
As i said, maybe.

what it is useful is burning his mana with cogs ( not trapping him) works in early game of course..

I have the same problem. Slark is a little bit unbalanced. The problem is not the concept of the char, but the purge ability your first skill has. Its purges basically every debuff on the game except X mark (kunkka) and Doom.

Bloodseeker before the rework was the true hard counter to slark, but there others that can counter Slark pretty hard.

Slark fears silence and AoE debuffs, so Silencer and Disruptor are the best counters you can pick to destroy him. Both have strong debuffs, and Disruptor can even use Glimpse to counter the classical "hit and run" tactic used by the little fish.

There's actually quite a few more things that it can't purge.

You're right though about disruptor. Great counter to slark because he can't stop glimpse and is forced to either use his ult before being pulled into the storm, or not being able to use it at all.

Lina is great against Slark, you just switch the rotation around so you laguna him as he is coming to pounce you, then drop the lsa, ds combo on his invis head.

The problem is that once slark gets reaaaaaally farmed he is one of the harder carries to actually kill. It becomes very hard to chain abilities together and keep him stunlocked once he has 3k health and a bkb. So I don't think anyone kills him 1v1 ultra late game, because he can always just run away, regen and come back. Basically, once slark has sb, don't go off alone unless you have a reliable escape, or slark will get fed. If he goes for it early he'll have piss all team fight presence, which means you should just go push down structures.

Doom counter every hero in the game with his ultimate.

PA/Spectre/AM+Omni+dust+sentry(s) much as can........+techies and ofc how teammate works on early game.

Theres no 1 vs 1 situation on late game. It's always TF. Remember: Aghanim on Disruptor mute the items of the enemy. Aghs is usually the second or even the first big item good Disruptors build.

ok, interesting post, but i think that i know how to fight slark...
My favourite carry is medusa and i know that medusa can kill every other hero if she is well farmed, and if you want to counter slark you can take medusa and outfarm slark (thats not hard beacuse of split fire) and in teamfight just ulti and run on their supports and after that slark will never be able to kill medusa or anyone else beacuse he is good in 1v1 but in 1v3 not as good as void or medusa or someone like that, so when you clear all his teammates he shouldnt be a real problem

well almost all alch can go toe to toe with her preatty well

doom, legion (if you're strong enough), silencer, void, maybe...bane?

locking him down before he can get away is the trick. doom does that well, as does legion. slark handles pubs very very well because nobody works together and people get picked off easily. but if you're able to communicate he's just an escape artist without any means of escape. lock him down when he's at about half health, and have your team focus him. ez.

it's funny that in his wiki page, he's only an escape hero.

Well, his escape mechanic is pretty effective

Whoever said that BS is a good counter, well from my experience with Slark, i never lose a 1v1 with BS, Let's assume that both in full health and Mana, and both are well farmed, everytime BS use his ulti and his first skill to me (Slark), i just pounce and use dark pact before BS's first skill silences me, then when both heroes are in low health i use the ulti and my health point regens to almost full while BS is unable to attack me and i'm still attacking him. and after i won the battle and enemy team is coming, i just pounce to the jungle or use my silver edge and run...

This, Slardar destroys every hero in 1v1 if equally farmed.
Except Cancer Lancer, because he is cancer.
