How Slark and Weaver perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Slark and Weaver win 50.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 583 matches.
Having two elusive cores like Slark and Weaver on one team often creates a problem of redundancy. Both heroes want to farm the same way: by finding isolated targets and running them down. The issue is that neither provides the hard lockdown the other needs to secure those kills reliably. Slark's Pounce is a leash, not a stun, and Weaver offers almost no control at all. They are both finishers looking for a setup that isn't there, forcing the rest of the team to compensate heavily for the lack of stuns.
This dynamic means your team can struggle to dictate the pace of the game. Instead of coordinating ganks, Slark and Weaver often end up playing on opposite sides of the map, trying to find solo pickoffs. This can work, but it's inefficient and relies on the enemy making mistakes. A coordinated opponent can group up and force objectives, knowing your team lacks a strong way to initiate a fight. Both heroes are great at surviving with abilities like Shadow Dance and Time Lapse, but they can't create their own opportunities together.
