Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Slark wins the Slark vs Warlock matchup: Slark beats Warlock in 52.80% of 31,069 ranked matches.
Using Dark Pact to remove Fatal Bonds and the slow from Upheaval makes it very difficult for Warlock to have his usual impact. Slark can consistently shrug off Warlock's primary setup spells and stay healthy. Finding and killing an isolated Warlock is also straightforward, as he has no mobility and can't survive being pounced on. The main threat is playing around Chaotic Offering. That initial stun is instant and goes through spell immunity, which is often enough to lock Slark down for a kill. If Slark can bait out or survive the ultimate, however, he can typically take over the fight with Shadow Dance and clean up.
