Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Slardar wins the Hoodwink vs Slardar matchup: Slardar beats Hoodwink in 51.44% of 9,856 ranked matches.
Getting caught out by a Slardar can feel particularly bad for Hoodwink. Her main escape, Scurry, lets her gain evasion and run through trees, but Corrosive Haze provides true sight that follows her everywhere. This completely removes her ability to juke through the woods. The armor reduction from that same ultimate also makes her extremely fragile to physical attacks from Slardar or his teammates. Once she's tagged, his stun and high movement speed make it very difficult for her to get away.
This dynamic doesn't make the game impossible for the squirrel, though. Hoodwink can use her long range to stay away from Slardar in the first place, and a well-placed Bushwhack can stop his initiation before it even starts. The matchup often hinges on who gets the jump on the other. If Hoodwink is able to see the gank coming and has a tree nearby for her stun, she can defend herself. But if Slardar finds her first with a Blink Dagger and applies Corrosive Haze, her chances of survival drop quite a bit.
