Pangolier vs Visage

How this matchup plays

Picking a hero like Pangolier into Visage means you have to work much harder for your kills. Pangolier relies on many small, fast instances of physical damage from Swashbuckle to be effective. This lines up poorly against Gravekeeper's Cloak, which can absorb much of that initial burst for very little actual damage taken. While a good Rolling Thunder can still control a teamfight and disrupt Visage and his Familiars, Pangolier himself struggles to threaten Visage directly. He can often escape with his mobility, but he lacks the tools to consistently punch through Visage's innate defenses, leaving Visage free to build momentum with his summons.
