How Slark and Terrorblade perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Slark and Terrorblade win 44.90% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 147 matches.
Trying to split farm across the map often leaves one hero feeling starved. Slark wants to be extremely active during the mid-game, finding pickoffs with Shadow Dance to build his Essence Shift stacks and create pressure. Meanwhile, Terrorblade needs to occupy safe jungle and lane space to farm toward his core items before he can contribute. This conflict in desired game pace is the core issue. The team is either forced to play too slowly for Slark to have an impact, or too aggressively for Terrorblade to come online securely. Both heroes want to be the late-game win condition, and they don't do much to help each other get there.
