that feeling when I random as silencer and then the enemy team picks zeus, wr, and ww right after.

That feeling when winning by a landslide

How do I get good at Slark

Always go W > E > max R > max Q > max W > max E.

Max Q, farm both lanes and jungles as soon as you have mana sustain.

Try other builds, if possible without Midas and Shadow Blade. Do not be made out paper.

Do not dive towers without drums or something.

Purge stuns. Escape by jumping over cliffs.

I have a lot of trouble playing Slark too but I put that down to the fact he's a pretty weak laner and it's rare to have aggressive supports to help you out there. I'm always getting left solo vs shit like Ogre/Timber, Mirana/Pugna, random 2v1s where I can't approach creeps.

Then I get stuck being unable to kill anyone in the mid-game because I'm underleveled. Yet when I play against Slark I always get destroyed.

His build is not written in stone. Depending on the lane and your supports you might not even want to get Essence Shift before 7 or 8.
Against aggressive offlaners and mids you should get some more levels in Pounce before maxing Dark Pact just to increase your survivability. Your CS will suffer but staying alive is almost always more important than CS, especially pre 6.

Slark's build is actually written in stone.

One point in Essence Shift is all you need to win trades in lane.

Maxing dark pact allows to farm and push as soon as you get level 6 (and some items for mana). It is your catch-up mechanism after a bad lane, jungle farming mechanism, escape mechanism, lane control mechanism, lane push mechanism.

I have never seen anyone add a point to Pounce just for a shorter cooldown, maybe it is a thing now, but it sounds really strange given the mana cost anyway. If you have to pounce every 12 seconds, there is something strange going on in your lane.

Russian casters said miracle is out. I also speculate this to be true.

Imagine being coached by 7kingmad when you are 9k mmr

roster shuffle makes perfectly reasonable people become rabid idiots, thirsty for any indication of a roster swap, nevermind the fact that if they just wait a bit they'll see how it works out just fine.
 

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like

Post-TI is the only time of year I completely ignore the Dota reddit. It's a fucking disaster over there on a good day. I really hate when all the rumor shit gets crossposted here by you dipshits too, by the way. I wish you guys would wait until announcements happen.

Totally unrelated, but: anybody here interested in an early access code for Titanfall 2 Tech Test for PS4/Xbox One? No PC test I'm afraid :/ (And please don't broadcast this one to non DotaGAF)

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
nice mask

I need to pimp my Mirana. I don't usually play her but she's worth playing now. On the other hand, Icefrog is going to nerf her into the tectonic plates so maybe that's not a good investment.
