Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phantom Lancer wins the Outworld Destroyer vs Phantom Lancer matchup: Phantom Lancer beats Outworld Destroyer in 52.00% of 977 ranked matches.
Staring down a Phantom Lancer as Outworld Destroyer feels impossible. Your single-target Arcane Orb is the wrong tool for the job; you can't click fast enough to clear the illusions, and finding the real one is a guessing game. Sanity's Eclipse will clear the fakes in its radius, but it's a temporary solution at best. Phantom Lancer will instantly create a new army and can even use Doppelganger to dodge the ultimate entirely. On top of this, his illusions and core items drain mana, attacking the very resource Outworld Destroyer needs to fight back. You end up with an empty mana pool, surrounded, and helpless.
