- extremely hard to last hit with that slow attack speed and low damage and worst attack animation ever!
- bond to lose lane no matter what because the way hero works is around getting regen in dark, and most of the time you will lose lane before getting 6.
- in fights, you manage to hit a hero for 5-8 times at most while being forced to use ulti cuz already dying to heavy nukes, and what's that? 24 agi? that will be lost in no time and had no effect in that fight.
i thought maybe I'm playing it bad, so I check dotabuff for best slark players and it turns out to be Yuragi, and surprisingly he didn't play slark in last 3 month at all. just played a match 2 days ago where he lost lane badly. i watched the game, and he cant last hit properly just like the way I struggle.
the second rank : 6 FEET, and he did not play for 4 months too. just a match 4 days ago that lost horribly. most of these highest-rank slark players did not play it for past 4 month which explains how shit this hero is rn.
i think what hero needs is some extra starting damage/agi, and add extra duration for one point of essence shift cuz rn it doesn't make any sense to trade right clicks.
