Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Techies wins the Slark vs Techies matchup: Techies beats Slark in 54.57% of 49,819 ranked matches.
Hunting for pickoffs across the map becomes incredibly dangerous against a Techies. Slark relies on Shadow Dance to regenerate in the fog of war between fights, but Proximity Mines completely shut this down. Every time he tries to recover, a mine will likely spot him, stop his healing, and expose his position. This forces him to play from a much lower health pool or go back to base constantly, crippling his map pressure. In fights, the situation is no better. A well-timed Blast Off! can silence Slark before he can use Dark Pact, and Reactive Tazer disarms him if he Pounces on a target, making it impossible to build Essence Shift.
