How Phantom Lancer and Visage perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phantom Lancer and Visage win 55.56% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 315 matches.
Finding the real Phantom Lancer in a teamfight is already a huge problem for the enemy team. Adding Visage to the mix makes it nearly impossible. While opponents are trying to clear illusions, Visage's Familiars can land on a key target, stunning them and applying massive physical damage. This forces a reaction. If enemies try to swap focus onto Visage himself, his Gravekeeper's Cloak makes him incredibly durable against their initial burst. This pairing creates a difficult choice: either get swarmed by Phantom Lancer's army while your support is deleted by the Familiars, or waste your spells trying to kill a tanky Visage while the real PL gets free rein.
