Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Slardar wins the Keeper of the Light vs Slardar matchup: Slardar beats Keeper of the Light in 53.50% of 19,177 ranked matches.
Trying to find a good spot to channel Illuminate gets much harder once Slardar hits his stride. His game plan revolves around finding and bursting fragile heroes, and Keeper of the Light is an obvious target. With a Blink Dagger, Slardar can close the gap instantly and his Slithereen Crush stops the channel cold. Corrosive Haze also means there is no hiding in the trees once you are spotted. That said, a well-timed Blinding Light can still create enough space to escape, and the miss chance is a real problem for Slardar. KotL can itemize for survival too, so while Slardar has the tools to hunt him, it's not always a free kill.
