[@sarthak-ti]

His shard is so insane! A massive aoe stun that doubled the physical damage they take

[@AliceMill69]

I think getting shard before Agh is better since You can easily clear creep wave faster and farm efficiently.

[@bibobnest]

Just yesterday I built Arcane Dagger + Octarine. You can slowly melt 6 slotted Spectre and hunt slippery heroes like Qop & Tinker with ease

[@1divergence487]

this is the way. and KnS also a good touch on this hero. BKB can't prevent the physical dmg. But still he is going to get some buffs from the fact he was unpicked in TI

[@DavidGlendaleArdenaso]

back in my day it was just 200 damage...

back in my day the stun was a chance to bash. 25% i think but i dont remember that far.

[@ToDeoS]

@@DavidGlendaleArdenaso So it doesnt any more? lol.. whats the weakness of slardar? A free walking kiting meele that stuns, reduce armor to a point where nearly noone can confront mid game, and all these wtf numbers added to his R skill....

​@@ToDeoSbully him during the lane phase. He is very bad at farm recovery (of course there is midas)

[@galahad4787]

good to see my signature hero become a beast in the new patch, his kit is super easy to understand and can move faster on the river for easy gank and the ult is basically summon river behind enemy's back with short cool down

[@TheStrugglingShiba]

I’ve been a slardar spammer since forever ago, and I still think maxing his bash early worked a lot better for farming and getting kills in lane. The only thing I’d debate is maxing Sprint vs Crush. I feel like after shard, Crush becomes a lot better, but before that its mainly just for the stun and nothing else.

[@krzysztofputerko1943]

Bash maxing actually ives less dmg than W and yes I know that you can get 2 bashes in one fight, however if you manage to W 2 people you would need to bashes for same dmg which is quite impossible because they will already die at this point or they will retreat to tower. Also, maxing W makes slow stronger so you also have more time to attack enemy

[@dokkirzandramas]

It’s more the constant mana consumption that makes maxing crush hard to justify sometimes. 1-2-2-1 then max W is the best imo for a balanced lane (near master rank slardar here)

[@nanook6620]

​@krzysztofputerko1943 until you have bkb or aghs i dont think you want to try fighting multiple people anyway. Playing him in any core role i max bash with a value point in W at lvl2 and then max sprint. W is too costly to be spamming it for damage but it helps secure kills after ive harassed a bit with bash.

[@TheStrugglingShiba]

@@krzysztofputerko1943 consider how long you will be in lane vs when you plan to participate in teamfights. I've consistently been able to shutdown the enemy safelane carry with max bash. After you get treads, lvl 3/4 bash almost allows you to guarantee a kill on any poorly positioned hero. Crushing 2 people isn't the focus, immediately destroying 1 target is. That's why until you get shard, max bash feels 100x better. It's not like i've not tried maxing stun, it just almost always feels a lot worse too

[@cy5282]

@@krzysztofputerko1943 mana is the issue with the W but E is more effective if enemy safelaner is a melee

Yeah even with op skill, its not guaranteed for team to instapick it. Since there are so many combos in every meta. Especially for competitive play. They will analyze every patch carefully. Thats why i love dota. Everything is possible and it works.

I would rather play against a Slardar than Spectre. I personally think Spectre is more BS to play against if we don't count Slardar 25 cdr talent.

I think slardar good item with 2 moonshard treats boots agility, aganim, aganim shard, desolator, and silver edge or blink. Easy regen and easy kill

[@laba28]

This is cringe

[@VerycoolEsso]

Perma stun build has always just been average on this hero. You need to farm so many items yet still be flimsy as paper. You absolutely need BKB in this build. No BKB, can't hit, all the attack items are worth 0 gold if you just die without hitting anyone. Not to mention that the enemies can just focus physical attacks on you while you have BKB active and you would still die because you have no health.

[@mas_yaris]

he needs to be close to you to deal damage, so maybe use slow dps hero like ogre or venom DK can also matchup against slardar. high armor & regen, can sustain lane, can push and kite slardar easily with dragon form slardar is very weak to kiting

[@krzysztofputerko1943]

carry picks: Basically any ranged carry who have abilities to kite slardar like Drow ranger. Also Chaos knight beats slardar in lane iif he gets lucky with crits. support pick: basically anything which allows your carry to kite even harder so Lion/Shadow shaman/treant. Not to mention that you can go full lane domination with Undying and just fck slardar with decays and tombstone. Slardar is a snowball reliant hero, he doesn't have any way to deal dmg from ranged distance so he needs to be tanky enough to survive jumping into enemy team. Meanwhile he also cannpt go full tank build(like Axe for example) because he needs some attacks speed to dish out dmg for auto attack build or scepter and mana for builkd shown in the video. This means that if he doesn't get fed early on, he won't have enough lvl edvantage to be tanky enough ti survive jumping into enemy. You don't even need to kill him in lane since every pos 1 outscales him. Just deny him creeps more than he denies yours.

Forget all of these, remove his ulti, slardar is dead.

Not the strongest, I hate it when something a hero catches attention will be called strongest only to be nerfed next patch. Slardar can easily be countered with good team line up.

[@pramadanaagsha3943]

I mean, he did provide that slardar got the highest winrate. Thats enough for a basic surface level statement that the hero is the strongest. If you want to go deeper of course many things contribute to a hero being the strongest but why would you look for that in a youtube content?

[@ohhimark9974]

good team line up, but this is pub

[@ralphivan6093]

Bro do you even play dota? What's a good team line up in pubs? Bro thinks everyone is playing captains mode everytime lmfao there's a reason why he has the highest winrate right now.

[@gravity00x]

"not strongest" "needs an entire team to counter him" etuuuu

[@meow3343]

After returning back to the game after years of break, I've realized that dota is not actually dying but rather it is killing its players. The gradual shift on meta is too much specially in rank since more people even in the lowest rank understood the meta of the game. I didn't notice it since I mostly play ability draft not ranked games, and when I try to play rank, it is super hard to use outdated heroes. Another thing is the people who is genuinely good at the game but can't get ranked up or players who keep smurfing on lower ranks. Imagine calibrating with guardian/crusader rank and guardian ranked players know how to execute play, use smoke, counter items, ganks etc.

[@gravity00x]

the dota balance team has definitely quit valve. lately this game is becoming just incredibly absurd. its like a brute is doing these changes, who has no idea what dota balance philosophy is based on.
