On to of this, if you are support and can afford it, get Ghost scepter.

Thanks

Problem is mid-game once she has HoTD and a damage item.

Lane pressure is obvious, but right now she's able to just dagger spam with zero risk.
And once she gets BKB the magic nuke/lockdown gone out the window too.

Maybe more of a mental block against the hero. But right now there seem to be a snowballing PA in every enemy team I play against.

A good mid/late game Morphling will r3k her, that E blade just hurts her so much.

Good. Morphling is on my list of heroes I want to get really good at ,although it's ulti and the balance between strength/Agility is still a bit of a mystery to me.

On my list to learn!

That mix with CM sitting in jungle with 2 - 3 levels of her aura is just plain pain in the ass.

At that point if you are in the offlane solo... You are better off just going to jungle with Iron Talon.

His ulti is a great escape mechanism. So if you're going carry morph shotgun build, you shift most of your stats to agility, get ethereal blade, then when you see an enemy hero you ethereal them, then second ability, then first ability, then you ulti away to an illusion you made previously to get out.

Skip to 3min to see how it blows up an axe:

If you're playing support Morphling then move your stats to strength so you max the stun time.

Besides damage dealers rushing MKB, what other effective counters there?

Magic damage is the obvious one before she gets BKB, but the other counter is silver Edge. It removes her evasion. A lot of people forget that Silver edge has break.

Yeah, I play a lot of Slark with Sliver Edge as core and it's about the only thing that works for me.
 
I like the heavens halberd approach (Disarms PL) and if you can get it off just before she uses BKB you waste 3 secs of the BKB.

In the lower level games its funny to watch PL blink and do nothing to you, the only problem is its a bit expensive and situational. I love it on a offlane clockwork cos as she blinks someone you hook her and halberd, she will 9/10 times BKB straight after that and waste some of the BKB.

Ghost scepter on supports allows the team to kite PL around and Windranger with a MKB makes short work of her (You can target PL with your ulti through BKB).

Guessing you mean PA, and not PL?

I watched Dendi pub stomp a game yesterday with Mirana. He went e-blade with dagon and aghs for the star storm. He 2 shot a PA in each team fight. I think he ended the game 24 - 2. The jugger in his team went 25 - 0.

I actually really want to try this build some time too... But I tend to playing a roaming position 4 mirana... So unless u make plays happen, farming isn't the fastest till I get my aghs up...
 
Last night had a crazy game as troll, had free farm bot and got strong quickly. However 3 of my teamies were close to useless and we just could not end because they had so much tank and I was the primary damage dealer. They held off megas with ease for what must have been 30min. Eventually, after losing a few team fights, I picked up an invis rune and just rat dotod the ancient.

Mirana can be a hit or miss hero, especially roaming. Although I also play her like that.

Know what you mean. She one of my most played heros... 58% win rate with her... If I setup a few kills for team early on, then it is easy. If not, I tend to be under leveled and it a case of catch up.

This.

I played her yesterday and landed some great arrows, setting up some nice early kills for my team. Didn't go the aghs build but was fun non the less.

I played a Elder Titan for the first time in ages yesterday. Man that hero is stronk. We defended mega creeps for like 15 minutes before we managed to get a team wipe and pushed mid to end. Was epic! Will look for the link to it, but can't now as it's blocked here at work.
