Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Slark wins the Slark vs Tidehunter matchup: Slark beats Tidehunter in 54.18% of 43,745 ranked matches.
Controlling the map is more manageable for Slark because he can keep his farm rate high even when Tidehunter is active. A big part of Tidehunter's game is crippling physical damage with Gush and Anchor Smash, reducing a carry's impact and letting his team kite. Slark, however, can consistently purge these debuffs with Dark Pact. This allows him to stay on his target and continue building Essence Shift stacks when other carries would be forced to back off. This core interaction makes it harder for Tidehunter to protect his own backline, giving Slark the space he needs to operate in fights.
