How this matchup plays
A screen full of illusions from Juxtapose is the core problem here. Drow Ranger's Marksmanship wants to focus down a single hero, but it ends up getting wasted on worthless clones. This gives Phantom Lancer a clear opening to get on top of her. He can use Phantom Rush to close the distance, and even if Drow tries to create space with Gust, he can often dodge the silence with Doppelganger. She wants to stand back and kite, but Phantom Lancer is built to force a messy, close-range fight where she has no good targets and no way out.
