Mid laning against Pugna in General Discussion

    I had lots of trouble laning against Pugna in the mid as he constantly spammed Decrepify and Netherblast and destroyed my laning, got 2 kills on me, got a free tower, and a 5 min dagon with which I went about roaming and rekting all the other lanes. This is not the first time and still I couldn't deal with Pugna spraying Nether Blast at my tower and eating it away. Apart from asking my teammates to gank and shut down Pugna early, is there any other way I can deal with this?
    Also, I seem to have a lot of problem with Tinker against a Nyx. How should I approach early fights with March of The Machines and in the late game spell spams?
    Help me improve pls.

        But BKB helps only for a while and Nyx's Carapace is a pain every now and then :( I'd consider BKB for hugh-cooldown spells like Ravage or Eclipse or so, but I don't really fell it worth for Nyx. Am I wrong?

            Your team is a 4-core lineup, Mid would be hard if they decided to gank you. Dealing with Pugna, just have good raze and tell your sup for help. Pugna is not one of the best mids anyway...

                Thing is we didnt have an ideal support and Pugna just spams Nether Blast on towers and there's no way I can stop it.

                disgusting weebs

                  u will lose ur tier 1 very quickly vs pugna if ur supports don't camp mid thats just how this hero works
