How Kunkka and Phantom Lancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Phantom Lancer win 53.59% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 696 matches.
Fighting this pair feels like a shell game where every option is wrong. Trying to find the real Phantom Lancer is hard enough, but Kunkka’s control makes it a nightmare. His Torrent and Ghostship disrupt your team’s formation right when you need to coordinate a kill on the real PL. While your team is scattered and stunned, Phantom Lancer’s illusions are free to swarm and overwhelm your supports. Kunkka can also use X Marks the Spot to ensure a target that PL jumps can’t escape, pulling them back into the illusion army. This forces opponents to constantly split their focus between two very different threats.
