    Hey guys,

    How viable is phantom lancer in the current meta given the popularity of Sven?

    When is it best to pick PL?

    That is all for today.

      PL is still shit, not even accounting for the awful item build everybody sub-5k builds (vlads, hotd, early manta etc.)

      2k indog monkey

        PL is still an absolute garbage although ES is out of the meta
        Very narrow power spike, and gets shat by pretty much 80% of available carry

        2k indog monkey

          The ultra retarded builds makes his winrate even worse
          AHAHAH VLAD RADIANCE OMG AHAHHA I wouldn't even bother trying my best and carry that kind of PL
          PL is best picked against single target oriented lineup (some single target oriented heroes = ursa, WK, invoker in the early game, bane, etc)
          or when you are running a mana burning strat

            dunno about high mmr games but he's viable at low skill bracket get brown boots,poor shield,drum and from there u can start snowball in team fight or just farm jungle / safelane and push were u get chance the moment u get diffusal + yasha over here i mean 1k mmr if u make it before the 20min mark it means 90% win for your team

              shit hero

              Batoonchi

                So bad right now.
                I remember when he was more than op time ago with invis, old good times.

                CUTNPASTE

                  As someone who plays a very good PL and spammed it to 6k I can safely say this hero is absolutely dogshit, only situation where I'd pick PL over another hero is vs WK if AM was banned and all other 4 members of their team were single-target heroes.

                    Does he still dumpstered if the game goes to 50min? I still see pro's picking it so hence the thread.

                    But I get the general opinion that he's garbage.

                    Such a fun hero though hope he comes back.

                          I wish they could at least make pl viable

                          dunce

                            To spread cancer, tilt enemies, win the game and feel good
