Why this works
Chaining a Life Drain onto a target in Flaming Lasso seems straightforward, but it can be surprisingly clumsy in practice. Batrider's whole goal is to drag an enemy hero over a long distance, often through tricky terrain. This movement frequently pulls the target right out of Pugna’s channeling range, breaking the drain before it does significant damage. While Pugna can offer a Nether Ward to punish the enemy team's response, its placement is awkward. The fight often moves too quickly or becomes too scattered for the ward to have its intended impact. The two heroes end up wanting to control fights in different ways, leading to moments where their abilities fail to connect.
