In Dota 2 7.41e, Slark and Snapfire win 49.50% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 18,941 matches.
Setting up a good Pounce for Slark can be a little easier with Snapfire on the team. Her Firesnap Cookie provides a reliable stun and gap-close, giving Slark a clean window to land his leash and start building Essence Shift stacks without the target immediately using a defensive spell. The slow from Lil' Shredder can also help keep a target in place once Slark is on them. This gives the pair some kill threat in the early and mid-game, especially on isolated heroes that get caught out of position.
Once teamfights begin, their plans can diverge. Slark wants to weave in and out of the fight, using Shadow Dance to reposition and find new targets. Snapfire often prefers to stay on the edge of the engagement, providing control and looking for a big Mortimer Kisses. While she can use her Cookie to save an overextended Slark, their kits don't combine for a massive teamfight impact. The laning setup is helpful, but it doesn't always scale into a game-winning strategy, leaving their overall effectiveness feeling fairly neutral.
