#1 Slark
Slark is another insanely broken hero right now mainly because of 2 reasons. The first one is if Slark kills someone while they are under the effect of essence shift slark will permanently steal one agility. Considering the fact that essence shift stays for 15 seconds at level 1, people are always under the effect of essence shift and you are always gaining agility while they die. He now is basically another silencer. So anytime you get a kill you are going to get a ton of free agility just like silencer gains a ton of free intelligence. The only difference is Silencer, however, is a support hero and is always depending on the team while Slark is a pain in the late game and can solo kill pretty much any hero and an absolute walking breathing problem to kill. With the agility, he gets armor, attack speed, movement speed and he get all this after already having all his carry potential.
The 2nd thing that is making him even more broken is that now Pounce applies a leash mechanism in Dota2. "Leash" is a new mechanism that has been added to Dota2 with this patch. Leash won’t let you teleport, you can’t move, you can’t TP out, you can't use any item movement wise. You can’t even phase shift anymore, so if Slark jumps on Puck, Puck can’t even phase shift anymore. This is incredibly broken and insane.
And the way Dota works right now with the gold and experience advantage it is the golden chance for Slark because he is a hero who is infamous for getting solo kills. So now when you solo kill with a slark you are getting a ton of experience and gold plus you are stealing 1 agility permanently. If you are hunting an agility core, he is losing agility, attack speed, and damage permanently for the rest of the game and that is insanely stupid and not okay.
If you are a carry player, master your slark skills and get some free MMR. This is your chance.
