So seeing PL here, in my games i have a really hard time dealing with him and illusion heroes in general (yes i am a noob ). Any tips?

He's useless early game, before Diffusal. Weak damage and squishy. Either pressure early and take advantage of a carry that can't do much, or pick some AoE to wipe out his illusions and nuke him down as well.

He's only strong if you reach the late game where his illusions last forever and deal damage.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Trust and enable your best player.

Theme of the day i think. It really differentiates the best captains from the rest.

Ok sure AoE or destroying him early. What if the game goes kinda late and you don't have good AoE? Nothing at all you can do?

Burst the PL or ignore him until after the fight. PL tends to either have low damage and high survivability or low survivability and high damage.

i'd recommend playing PL for 5-10 games and make note of what really annoys you, oh damn that silence before i got a manta was brutal etc
also late game huge ults like black hole and echo slam (aoe disable that also does dmg that makes it easy to see where the real PL is) is pretty good vs PL
