So one of my friends who is above 2000 elo thinks 1v5 is harder than 5v5 with slark. I think 1v5 is easier than 5v5 with slark on average, regardless of the skill level of the allies if they leave really early, like before 5 minutes into the game. Of course if they leave after 30 minutes, 1v5 would be harder.

Here is some proof:
The 1v5 replay is me playing slark, where all my aLLies left before 3 min. I suck at slark; I don't even play slark on my main account. The other slark replay is one of my noob friends :p who did really well in a 3v5. He afks for 10 min and was still the highest level in the game. From watching it. you would see easily why 1v5 is usually easier than 5v5 with slark. The other team wasn't even noob. Kdrbeatselo has good stats and he wasn't doing any better than his allies. 1v5 is just too op for the slark player.

To watch the 2nd replay, you need dota v6.80c. You can get the map here http://www.epicwar.com/maps/240366/.

Anyway, do you think 1v5 with slark is easier than 5v5? Also, show any 1v5 wins with any hero if you have, please.

Maybe that's why slark and meepo aren't that good in tournaments. Because the players are trying to win with a 5 person team. If they would play with slark or meepo on a 1 person team in a 1v5, it might be better to win.

They can split push the whole map with necros and you'll never be able to kill them all.

If your opponents know what they're doing and have a brain, you won't win it. I tried it before with my average-skilled friends, but they at least know to work together and I always get outpushed.
