Well with pl base armour damage and hp regen he doesn't need baby sitter in lane as much so maybe that was there thinking but I agree he was countered pretty hard .
That game was epic as hell by the way , I was in a building with shitty service so I was contorting my body just right to stay connected enough to watch it lol .
PL actually cleaves really well. At least for farming it's really good. He has like 123213 agility. I don't think Ember was a good pick. They needed more burst damage, something like Invoker would have done better imo.
Welp they ran exactly what I wanted second game and still got crushed. Incoming sven nerf. I thought their draft was amazing but the entire panel was like jug is weak. I guess maybe he is. I think with all that space if OG had just farmed up more they could've done it.
Also that was a pretty big fuck up at that rosh fight where they bunched, whiffed a curse and then entire team got hit by kunkka boat.
And idk how well winter actually counters sven in pro play. They aren't stupid enough to bunch around him for a curse and just look at the picks, only kunkka was melee and he stood in the back and threw out torrents. They just pick around the wyvern. Same thing with egs picks vs sven, wyvern sucked ass.
Because people have a great plan to win dota games untill it fails and they see that their was was so great.
A late game PL is unstoppable, he can be so tanky Echo Slam doesn't even bother him, but he takes quite the time to come online.
^not rlly
He rekts supports but his dmg is lacking with heart skadi against high armor carries and if he does something like multiple butterfly then he dies to aoe nukes easy
He is more of a mid-lategame carry that relies on snowballing and having good matchups. In super late game pl starts to struggle.
I think he's plenty strong game although i have noticed that even when 6 slotted his burst is pretty low so sometimes his team can get wiped out before he can kill enough heros and then it's pl against the world .

I don't get it, I thought pl wasn't good in this meta? OG 2nd picks him, leaving 3 picks to counter, plus the had magnus. Pl doesn't cleave very well. Why not just go jug there? Or sven?
