Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phantom Lancer wins the Phantom Lancer vs Visage matchup: Phantom Lancer beats Visage in 50.42% of 361 ranked matches.
Visage’s typical game plan of dominating the mid-game and pushing towers hits a wall. Phantom Lancer's illusions constantly strip away the layers of Gravekeeper's Cloak, making Visage surprisingly squishy in fights. His main nuke, Soul Assumption, is also unreliable because it's so difficult to target the real hero in the chaos. While Visage's Familiars can be a threat, they get overwhelmed by the sheer number of illusions once PL gets a few items. Phantom Lancer can easily stick to Visage, burn his mana, and eventually run him and his summons over, completely stalling out the hero's powerful timing window and taking control of the map.
