Would feel way better to play Slark if his pounce just went where your cursor is instead of sending you 13 miles in a random direction because you nudged a creep for 0.1 seconds.

He’s like the only hero in the game you basically have to try and use the directional movement key with, which is clunky as all hell and hard to remember to use when you’re in the heat of battle. Doesn’t even always work either.

So please ice frog and friends, update Slark’s pounce for the modern era.

    its a bad change because the jump jumps forward.

    turnrate matters in dota.

    so instead of jump away it would become “wait for turn, then jump” but during wait do we walk? does he stand still? idk

    seems like a useless change. just play the hero for 20 minutes. i remember i found this very weird when i started play dota since in all other games it works different

    maybe they should make that per this weird autocas kind of functionality to switch

    There is an option for directional movement available, if you don’t want it then it’s a skill issue. It’s part of the hero

    It should also be a target ability and pull the target to you, it’s a leash after all
