How Naga Siren and Slark perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Naga Siren and Slark win 50.85% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,001 matches.
Setting up a kill with Song of the Siren seems straightforward, but the reality is often less clean. Slark can get a free Pounce on a target when the Song ends, which is useful for picking off a single hero. However, he doesn't bring the big area-of-effect damage that can truly capitalize on multiple enemies being locked down. He has to wait for Naga Siren to end the spell, and can't build up any Essence Shift stacks during the setup. Both heroes also require significant farm and map space to come online. They can end up competing for safe areas to farm, potentially slowing each other down and creating an awkward mid-game where neither hero is ready to fight effectively.
