Mate, argument aside, pot calling kettle black here.

Sheepstick is definitely a valid choice. It would be a much better way of disabling a Magnus/Enigma, for example.

'many reason'
'abyssal is much more effective against/on heroes like am and pl because after 5slots their attackspeed is insanely fast and bash cast/procs completely turn fights'
At this point i can only think that you don't know how to read or you're just not able to see people points. You're playing PL like another hero, disregarding his illusions, wasting 8k gold on a item almost useless on him.

wow you argue like a child. If people refuse to accept your opinion why dont you continue to convince them? Or you can agree to disagree in a civil manner rather than just insisting youre right and hes wrong like a 12yr old

sheepstick does things for his illusions, oops i forgot about that damn those stats. but seriously i thought this thread is a thread made for better players to help weaker players. so why are you trying to teach me how to play? plus how many pro players do you see gets a sheep instead of abyssal as a 6th slot item on pl?

Some of us want to hear the reasons behind these claims so we can better our understanding of the game.

I'm not trying to teach you how to play, simply educating you on a hero that you don't seem to fully understand. Arguing with you is useless, I'm done

im glad you finally realize you're nowhere close to my skill range. atleast have some backup to what you say next time, like "this progamer build sheep on pl", but im betting you couldnt find one even though pl is one of the most played heroes atm. and a bunch of them get abyssal as a 6th slot.

I just gave an example on the previous page of a pro match that happened yesterday where PL got sheep.

This logic of because pro did x or didn't do y so z item must be bad. Have you even watched games lately where western teams pick PL? Most don't even know how to play it properly and use illusions effectively.

removal of evasion is irrelevant since you should get mkb instead of sheep if you're facing a hero with evasion. sheep is by far one of the best items in the game (i refer to it as game changing item) but it is not an ideal 6th slot item for pl under most circumstances.

as for being a dick, erasme tells me "learn to read" which is basically what people do when they get defensive and got nothing more constructive to argue, i dont treat ppl like that nicely.

im sorry, that first point was meant to be sarcastic, i shouldnt have said it because i myself dont value what most progamers do on x heroes. i only said it because you see a lot of newer people doing that and i was just trying to relate.

ive played with erasme and firebolt in inhouses and they know im a much more solid player than them. im sure there are better ppl on the forum compared to me, tl is huge, my point was that in a thread like this i assume we are trying to answer other players question with the most applicable answer, not some gimmicky one that doesnt belong. i could build whatever i want on carries and probably still win games but i dont suggest others to do it.

when i play with players who do stupid things, dont take advice and talk shit why would i waste my time playing with them (if it was a league or mm i would report them and get them warned). there are plenty of other players that do the samething.

This is getting way off topic. Let's just leave this discussion where it is. If you have further issues take it to PMs.

Nothing you can do without taking a ton of damage. That just how laning vs a darkseer as a melee carry is. All you can do is reduce the amount of damage taken from the ion shell as much as possible. Even range carries can have trouble with the ion shell damage.

So best way is to get your supports to help zone/kill that darkseer.
2nd best way is to reduce damage taken by reducing time spent in ion shell.
3rd way which is situation but i've seen it anyway, get enough regen. example AM being a Battlefury builder went for the ROH first. With some use of tangos the ROH should be enough

Quelling blade to help kill creeps fast, a fast midas can also get you rid of the ion shell ( even if i hate that item and tell people to never get it)
