I see the Butterfly being a huge asset for the Evasion alone.<br /><br />PL generally isn't as hard to deal with as everyone thinks, but it definitely forces a different play style. For the vast majority of players, I think they have the most difficulty because of how easily PL farms combined with difficulty in killing him. As players get better, farming is less of an issue and they have items (as well as skill) to overcome the hero.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397566073607378498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901781479042884414.post-33483555543284770222013-04-10T20:48:10.632-05:002013-04-10T20:48:10.632-05:00Just played a game as Naga, PL was fed as fuck, bu...Just played a game as Naga, PL was fed as fuck, but it didn't require much with some lategame farm to take him down. Butterfly, Linken, MKB, Gem and boots. He had the typical annoying massive farm and trashed everyone but my Naga.<br /><br />Of course this was a pub game with crap skills, so might not be efficient at higher levels of play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901781479042884414.post-13995382928966369652013-01-29T10:59:00.582-06:002013-01-29T10:59:00.582-06:00Thanks for the feedback.

With Aghs + some attack speed (or a Wisp), Tiny can quickly decimate any number of illusions with the massive cleave damage he gets.<br /><br />The only problem is if you don't get your farm fast enough, Diffusal Blade on PL can really rip Tiny apart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397566073607378498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901781479042884414.post-11090860608185734432013-01-28T23:40:53.314-06:002013-01-28T23:40:53.314-06:00Great post.

Once a Tiny has Aghs+Yasha+AC, then it really doesn't matter what items the PL has. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
