Alche overcome PL at Ultra Late game right ?


Alch normally gets levels and farm faster and thus wins. PL with same farm is a bit stronger.

yeah, but Alche with Maelstrom probably rekt PL

Alch doesn't beat anyone ultra late game, as that's when the networth is generally equal. Giving his team mates aghs can make up for it some, but he already has a wisp.


The new Stun focused build actually does a lot of work late game with aoe stuns on the pl. Alch can't really solo kill him but can do a ton of damage and provide disable.

both teams used wisp +gyro differently

when lgd ran it liquid did not pressure properly (only ench), while lgd trilaned it with a roaming shaker

liquid used wisp + gyro in a multicore as space creators for alch, while lgd made that the focal dps carry of their lineup

liquid's approach seems wrong. it's too slow of a way to play the game against peers,.

This Ursa didn't do enough with his free lane to take back the game from the BS. So they can't contest both BS and PL. Maybe smoke ganking PL would have worked better?

you have to point out the amount of WORK these lastpicks have done for LGD. It's not 'merely' outplaying, they put themselves in a better position right before they select the heroes.

No.

PL can go the low CD doppleganger CD and dodge it every time he throws it, as it's a pretty slow animation and that puts dopple on a 2-3 sec cd. It's not something that would be a reason to go the talent, but it's perfectly doable. (These are all theoreticals though)

The lategames I've seen the stun does a lot of work since it isn't the only thing happening in fights. PL is still stronger, Alch becomes an enabler for another DPS at that point.

Yeah, it mostly comes down to who gets the jump, which is what most ultra lategame comes down to (unless Envy is involved)
