Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Slark wins the Slark vs Ursa matchup: Slark beats Ursa in 52.63% of 9,434 ranked matches.
Running at Slark with Overpower often ends in frustration for Ursa. The entire goal for Ursa is to stay on a target and build Fury Swipes stacks, but Slark’s kit is designed to disengage. Dark Pact instantly purges the slow from Earthshock, and Pounce creates enough distance to break the attack chain. If Ursa ever does get on top of him, Slark can use Shadow Dance to disappear, heal up, and completely reset the fight. Every second Ursa spends trying to find him is a second Slark is regenerating, while Slark's Essence Shift punishes any extended brawl by draining Ursa's attributes.
As the game progresses, Slark dictates the terms of engagement. Ursa is forced to avoid him or risk wasting his Enrage cooldown on a target he can't kill. This lets Slark play aggressively, knowing Ursa can't effectively punish him. The only way for Ursa to win the one-on-one is to get a surprise jump with an instant disable like a Scythe of Vyse, hoping to burst Slark down before he can use any of his escape abilities. Otherwise, Slark can easily kite Ursa in teamfights or simply choose to fight someone else, leaving Ursa feeling powerless.
