More seriously, have supports abandon the lane, stick a survivable hero solo there with a stick, aggro tri. Basically turn your safe lane into your offlane. I doubt that lane is beatable in pubs. Just avoid fighting it. | ||

It returns you to the point in time where you skilled it, I think. Might be full of shit, not sure. it was because the "timer" on time walk that tracks where you were 5 seconds ago only starts when you levelled time walk. i think this was fixed though | ||

So the point is you dont wanna ever let it reach that point. With something like an Axe call or similar which can start the fight on the PL you can hopefully burst him down before it gets out of hand. A good PL will obviously make it hard to land an initiation on him, but if your heroes cant clear the illusions your only chance is to find him quick and kill him fast in fights before he gets to do anything. | ||

When PL gets to start right clicking and using all his spells/manta the illusion number quickly grows to the point where its very hard to find the right one. At that point you're kinda left to just hoping your heroes can deal with it. If you have a Timber, lucky you. If you have a Drow, Lifestealer, Viper or similar, prepare to die.

In fact PL counters timber, it becomes very hard to get a second round of spells because of the mana drain and doppel makes it easy to dodge his first round of spell until PL can tank it. | ||
