Slardar Counters (7.41)
Who counters Slardar in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Slardar is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over 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 (57.9%), Nature's Prophet (57.2%) and Templar Assassin (56.4%) get caught and shredded. Slardar is countered by illusions and high-HP heroes a single stun can't handle: Phantom Lancer (45.8%), Tidehunter (46.2%) and Wraith King (46.3%) 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.
