Nah just kidding I voted it +1
Great guide but I won't be playing slardar soon as I hate carries. Helped me understand the hero better.
Now I really want to harass this guy in lane :).
Just a heads up to anyone that wants to use
blah blah blah
You're wrong. Slardar is a carry. Granted he may not be the best carry but he is seriously ****ing strong 1on1 with bash and his ultimate. He needs a fair bit of farm to be effective, more than a hero such as Sven who only needs bkb/crit to start killing entire teams, but slardar is an awful support. Mana boots is a shocking idea.
Also the fact you listed storm as a top tier carry confirms your knowledge of the game is severely lacking.
His skill build should be as follows (in almost every case):
1) 0/1/0/0
2) 0/1/1/0 (or 1/1/0/0 if you are getting ganked heavily)
3) 0/1/2/0
4) 1/1/2/0
5) 1/1/3/0
6) 1/1/3/1
7) 1/1/4/1
8) 2/1/4/1
9) 3/1/4/1
10) 4/1/4/1
11) 4/1/4/2
12) 4/2/4/2
13) 4/3/4/2
14) 4/4/4/2
15) stat
16) 4/4/4/3
Focusing on
Ultimately if your team already has a carry and you dont think it is a pub stomp, use the build i described and play in the 3/4 position (roamer/soft support) focusing on supporty items such as
If you take some heavy damages early game (If you are ganked at level one, or are against an ennemy who have a powerfull nuke.) and are down to something like 100 hp, if you only have tangos, you will regen your hp very slowly, and during this time you will have to stay under tower and not take aany last hit if you don't want to get killed, so you can loose more than 45 seconds of farm if that happens.
Always take a set of tagos and a salve at the start of the game, especially on meelee heros.
