      He wasn't very good... neither was nh. It was mostly just player difference. I did more dmg than them, so I could last hit better, I didn't let the creeps clash push out too far, so they couldn't harass me well without drawing the tower, and pharaoh's snot bomb would help keep their lane pushed. I kept up the heals with a courier, and when I'd get them kind of low, time-leap in on them and get a kill. I'd always go for nh first, since pharaoh had the mini stun and was hard to chase. Still, I got a couple of kills on him too. I usually max out time-leap first, what with the slow and aoe dgm now.
