How Slardar and Visage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Slardar and Visage win 51.79% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 952 matches.
Trying to survive a gank from this pair can be frustrating. Slardar’s Corrosive Haze shreds a target’s armor, which directly amplifies all the physical damage from Visage and his Familiars. This makes their combined burst surprisingly high against a single hero. Slardar can also provide the initial stun with Slithereen Crush, allowing Visage to apply Grave Chill and guarantee his Familiars can stay on top of the slowed enemy. The plan is straightforward, but its success depends heavily on Slardar landing a clean initiation. If the initial jump fails or the target has a way to escape, the gank can fizzle out, which keeps this from being a truly dominant pairing.
