Slardar Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Slardar in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Slardar beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Slardar is a tanky initiator whose Slithereen Crush + Corrosive Haze armor reduction make a single target take massive physical damage, and whose Blink-stun starts fights. He's strong into immobile, armor-reliant heroes: Timbersaw, Nature's Prophet and Templar Assassin get caught and shredded. Slardar is countered by illusions and high-HP heroes a single stun can't handle: Phantom Lancer, Tidehunter and Wraith King out-body or out-tank him. Draft tip: Slardar is an excellent initiator + armor-shredder into squishy carry drafts; he's weaker into illusion comps and durable five-man teams.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Slardar hardest are Wraith King, Phantom Lancer and Juggernaut — Slardar wins only 42.3%, 43.3% and 44.1% of ranked matches against them.
