How Gyrocopter and Slark perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Gyrocopter and Slark win 48.54% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 342 matches.
Catching a hero with Pounce provides a leash, but it isn't the hard stun Gyrocopter needs to land a Homing Missile. This small-scale conflict of purpose scales up as the game goes on. Slark’s entire game plan revolves around finding isolated targets, building Essence Shift stacks, and weaving through fights with Shadow Dance. He wants to split the map and create chaos. Gyrocopter wants the opposite: he excels when his team groups up, letting him hit everyone with Flak Cannon under a big Call Down. These two heroes are asking their team to play in contradictory ways, meaning one of them is almost always fighting on unfavorable terms.
