PL can't generate a bunch illusions at will that last long enough to find a hero like tide hunter and cancel his blink. He can generate one with doppelwalk and maybe manta, but the doppelwalk and manta illusion only last for 20 second, as opposed to Naga's 30.

Its just the difference between the two heroes. Naga's illusions are more useful, but she can't generate a metric ton of them like PL.

typical pl build for me at least is boots, diff, manta, heart, bfly
for ur last slot ud want ac or mkb wouldnt u?

AC is garbage, as the illusions get none of the armor, attack speed (uh, maybe they get 20 AS? I forgot the exact mechanic).
PL lategame is bots, diffusal (You can sell diffusal for crit in some situations), manta, heart, bfly, and then whatever best will win you the game. Choose between Skadi (if you sold your diffusal and want more EHP), Abyssal (if you need to lock down a carry to win a game), BKB (need it to teamfight to win), MKB (dodge / blind), Sheep (lockdown - good way to win a game by killing a split pusher via dopple), or a couple other items. Oh, as mentioned earlier daedalus is good / pretty standard.

Everything is situational in dota though.

Radiance as a 5th/6th item on pl and the dude says it's the most effective damage on him. Come on, get it together...

I guess there are some situations I could see a later radiance being okay, but most of those involve already killed 1/2 raxes. I'd probably prefer something else anyways.

oh double post fuckfuckfukc: Yeah, just wanted to say AC is pretty garbage on him. Only time I would get one is against a ET. Hell, I might even prefer shivas.

I think diffusal is better because it speeds up your farm at a more reasonable rate, while skadi is really slot inefficient while you are building it. Plus the purge is nice and has a good range, skadi requires you to be up in their grill.

Radiance on PL is super trash. You need your ilusions to hit stuff and multiply and radiance just kills creeps so fast and you are left with no ilusions.

Diffusal is so much better for damage vs heroes instead of radiance so its just a wasted money and slot.

My late game build on PL: BoT+ Manta+ Diffusal+ Heart + Bfly and last slot can be Skadi,Abysal,Mkb or some other situational item.

I mean depending on how ownage you are, PL can easily attain a sub-40 mins 6slot. Not all 40 min games are fucked.

Not that it isn't still situational.
