Why is there no PA on the pro scene?
PA is the most played pub hero with pudge,I guess she isnt that good when you have a team that actually knows how to counter her but still why isnt she picked at all in the tournaments ?
Yea she has bad teammfight presence,but still her crits are ridiculous and she can one shot supports and turn the fight over.

Squishy, Single Targeted, related to PRNG, easy to counter. Not the best hero at all. Also bad farming patterns.

the other cores are more reliable. plus, she doesn't see to fit well in any particular strat.

1. Easy to counter
2. Farm slow without Fury, even fury, still slow
3. Push slower than other carry - AM, DR, MoR, Jug
4. With Gosu, they will kite you to die, force staff, Eul, Invi, Ghost..... many many cheap items for support

she farms quite fast with BF. don't know what you are talking about. unless you just right click the creeps. you need to blink to them.

anyway, she just doesn't fit the pro playstyle of the moment. spamming illusions most of the time. PA isn't a good pusher and even if she goes for stats items, there are better heroes to spam illusions.

Just quite, not fast enough with pro players
And the most important thing is too easy to counter her. No need pro games, only 4k MMR +++ games, nobody want play this hero

And you just answered your own question. She's the most played PUB hero. Pub Heroes don't translate well over to the pro scene.

Pubs are defined as generally low-communication, low-cooperation carry-fights. Things that work in pros may not work in pubs because of the required communication and teamwork.

Pros are defined as high-communication, high-cooperation, high-teamwork environments with complementary picks and excellent coordination. Generally, what works in pubs might not work in pros because pros are well-coordinated and highly skilled at the game.

Picks like PA are, simply put, too easy to beat. Any decent caster will tear through her like tissue paper due to her absurdly low durability. She's also very heavily RNG-reliant with Blur and Coup De Grace.

I think "Mor" is jargon for "Morphling", but I'm probably wrong on that.

DR = Drow Ranger, yes. She's infamous because of her E since it lets her push really fast.

I thought about morphling too, but it makes no sense with the capital letters. wouldn't make any sense without either.

Isnt every hero easy to counter when you have a good team?
I think you are going too far with saying she is so bad ,a jug is also easy to counter and squishy.
