How do you counter late game phantom lancer? (PHANTOM LANCER NERF) in General Discussion
❤ Ashley ❤

    make it so the illusions give gold and exp based on the level of pl, something like

    level 1 = 5 gold and + 5 gold every 2 levels so a level 25 illusion gives 60 gold each and also make it so if the illusion dies, phantom lancer loses 5% of his maximum health but cant die from it. Also make it so his illusions cannot make their own illusions.

    Autism is great

      great idea time to email icefrog

        hi. icefrog here.

        no.

        Sentinel

          uh. can we also have his base damage reduced to like 3 and his agi gain to like 0.0000001 ?

          sounds legit.

          expert

            Many counters to PL.
            Medusa ULT kills all illusions, not to mention her split shot can do multi-target dmg
            Luna glaives can clear illusions quickly
            any kind of silence will not allow Phantom Lancer to use his lance or dopplewalk,
            but the best counter to PL is to not let him farm at all. If he's farmed and its late game, GG
            Don't just say nerf something because you don't know how to play the game.

              Best counter to PL is Sven

                  wait wait, drow > pl
                  true story. pick drow

                  Pandamonium(You Died)

                    Nonono, I have better idea! Lets give drow PL ulti, so op can only play 1 hero, and never learn any others, good idea right?

                    Ming (Zufälliger König)

                      ^ that wont cut it
                      what op needs is a drow with frost arrows generating illusions every hit and 3rd skill replaced with pl's dopple and drow's ulti changed to juxtapose AND phantom edge, (so they become JUXTA-EDGE???!!) with the +40 agi bonus, together with the double when you're 600 range away from enemy heroes.

                      thats what op needs

                        Just lower the number of his illusions to like 4 or 5 and he is fine.

                        Pandamonium(You Died)

                          Just remove the illusions completely, why not.
                          Srsly, phantom is absolutely useless before 35-45 minutes, especially if you deny him right. It`s not that hard to finish a game in 30 minutes

                          rambosalad

                            icefrog pls buff

                            matrice

                              Pick enchant sd or morphling, make illusion of pl, and profit, you now have pl in your team !

                              You can also try out the multi cleave team. And countrary to what has been wrote earlier, tiny is much better than sven to counter pl (sven just cann't clean illusion fast enough without ult) and tiny has cragy exterior + some range + bigger aoe for cleave. But anyway, none of them are good enough, since pl can simply push 2 lane in the same time, while neither tiny nor sven can be in two lane at same time.

                              So yeah:
                              Best is steal his illusion, and return them against him + get some splash damage like tiny or medusa divine.
                              Second best is steal his illusion.
                              And last but not least best way is: don't try late game against him.

                                  thats the worst suggestions ive ever seen

                                  6_din_49

                                    With nukers like lion or lina you wipe the floor with lancer in the first 25 min of the game. Also Eartshaker is a very good counter against lancer.

                                    Hint: use dust

                                            I have a great idea. Let Chakra Magic does not work on Phantom Lancer and no problems.

                                                                                            Fire_Sign

                                                                                              cupcakebruh

BH getting track off can effect PL's ability to get into the fight, and allows mass illusion clearing heroes such as sven/kunkka/gyro/medusa or anyone with a battlefury to clear past the illusion army, as well as making him require quite a significant advantage to fight some single target heroes face on. This is before you even consider how useful track is when trying to gank PL earlier on in the game.

                                                                                                In general heroes like Sven and Gyro are going to fucking rape a PL once they reach a certain amount of farm, even with heart/evasion PL doesn't stand a chance.
