    I just had a game where i chose PL and i only have few knowledge about this remodeled hero, even he wasnt before im not sure how to play him.

    In this game is taking stats and maxing the doppelganger viable on high level games?
    My purpose for this was because PL relies heavily on illusions taking stats greatly benefits him plus maxing doppel, you can spam doppel and farm lane/jungle easily even without lifesteal. thoughts?

      Your first and third skill are really solid early-mid game, I think they benefit him more than stats unless you are afk farming. However in my style pl, I go quite agressive early.

        not maxing lance first is dumb

        even when ur farming u can lance ranged creep to kill waves faster

        Whatislove

          best build is lance, doppleganger, lance, phantom rush (2-1-1). Then max lance and take ult at 6. I max Doppleganger fully next and then rush last. Cooldown on Doppleganger comes down a shit load. Treads, Aquilla (Or Basi if u going vlads), Diffusal, manta. Later HoT, Butterfly and I like MKB on him for damage.

            Skadi> heart. He is a manfighter now, not a splitpusher

              It's viable but don't skip phantom rush. Given your team can live without your contribution until you get diffusal.

                ^^ exactly. Skadi should now appear in his suggested items. dumb volvo dont know shit abt their own heroes.

                Diffusal=>Manta=>Diffusal 2=>Skadi=>Butterfly/Daedalus/heart=>BoT

                  also, why the fuck wud u make radiance on pl. replace that with skadi in suggested items

                    also, now is better to get some damage for the main hero too, Abbysal/Mkb are really good

                    sano

                      best build is 1-1-1 stats

                      MOA KIKUCHI ASTRALIS

                        if u want stats go 411

                          I miss old PL

                          bibi

                            Fuck old PL^

                            New PL is a man and destroys people at 10-15min with only a diffusal.
