How Gyrocopter and Slardar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Gyrocopter and Slardar win 41.95% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 379 matches.
Picking these two feels like it should work; Slardar applies Corrosive Haze and Gyrocopter unloads. The problem is that their ideal fight positioning is completely different. Slardar wants to run deep into the enemy team to land a Slithereen Crush on a key target. For Gyrocopter to get a full Rocket Barrage off on that stunned hero, he has to follow the dive, putting his fragile self in extreme danger. If the target doesn't die immediately, Gyro is now stranded deep in the fight. Both heroes want to deal physical damage, but Slardar's all-in style consistently pulls Gyrocopter out of the safe range he needs to operate from.
