Controlling the map and building a gold lead gets a lot harder when your main tool for it is so easily removed. Slark can consistently purge Bounty Hunter's Track with a basic ability, Dark Pact, which denies the bonus gold and vision that fuels BH's entire game plan. This makes it difficult for Bounty Hunter to snowball his team through the mid game. Slark is also inherently difficult to pin down thanks to Pounce and his regeneration from Shadow Dance, allowing him to farm more aggressively than other heroes might. While a well-coordinated gank can still bring Slark down, he's uniquely equipped to dismantle Bounty Hunter's strategy by himself.
