I've lost a lot with farmed PL lately.


o.O His... fuck I'm not allowed to call it "Q"... ummmm k his "lance" (and of course the illusion it spawns) is stronger than most heroes once you have heart/radi/diffusal. And its on like a 6 second cooldown.

If a single spirit lance illusion is stronger than most heroes in the game, the enemy fucked up so hard it's not due to PL that they're losing.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

spirit lance is really fucking annoying. the nuke is big in the early to mid game and is very spammable, the slow is devastating for the entire game and as the nuke starts to become less relevant the illusion it spawns starts to become beefy, either it drains your mana if pl went diffu or it has radiance aura.
Fuckin hate that spell.

Yeah at the point where Radi+Heart+Diffusal PL is wrecking people with single Lances, you have to keep in mind that equivalently BFury+Manta+BKB Void would force every fight to start 5v3 (kill 1 person in ult, and 1 person in BKB).

3-item hard carries wreck shit regardless of who they are.

Naga has way more utility than PL and actually doesn't suck for 40 minutes, although yeah, PL can carry in the super late game.

That's the reason radiance pl sucks and pl wasn't picked prepatch

but post patch something like tranq -> drums -> diffusal -> heart allows you to be very effective midgame while retaining the ability to carry late
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

PL has a VERY scary midgame. 15 min diffusal -> 20-22min heart is not hard to achieve and pretty damn strong. His biggest asset is his ability to farm everywhere at the same time without a farming item. Once his first item (Radiance/Diffusal) is done his farm explodes in a way that makes AM a sad puppy.

PL absolutely sucks in lane and also sucks at tp fighting. He pretty much needs complete free farm for 15 minutes untouched to do anything while other carries are pretty decent at recovering and being useful elsewhere.

PL's laning is fairly good among melee carries, lol. It's not fantastic, but it's not as useless as you imply.

I never thought Undying is so fucking strong. I won the last 5 games with this guy and it wasn't even close. I just go solo hardlane and max Q and E. If they try to dive you just use tomb and spam Q. Build soul ring for even more spammage. Wow. In two games I scored a triple kill before the 12min mark because they people underestimate a maxed tombstone at this early level. He also is good for towerpushing and a beast in teamfights, he isn't strong when chasing heroes, though. But still one of the most fun heroes to play with. My build: Soulring > Phase Boots > Stick > Hood > Pipe > Heart, Q > E > W > R

I guess that's why pro teams ban this guy nowadays :D

It would be great if you got out of the habit of referring to skills by their hotkeys. Just a tip.

No real reason to get Phase+SR when the Phase damage/MS isn't all that useful to you (as you said, he's not good at chasing either way), and you don't need the SR HP regen because you have a heal. Just get Arcanes and buy your real items 700 gold sooner.

Also, Aghanim's is very important for Undying.

I don´t get why agha is important on him.
The amplify gets increased by 5% and the heal from dying things gets around 50% stronger(6%->10% for creeps, 2%->3% for heroes)
Is it really that big a deal? My intuition tells me a hood/pipe or a blademail would increase his performance more than a slight increase in his ult.
