The Pit Lord is designed as an UU Crowd Control meat shield, hence why all of his skills are ment to affect more than 1 target. I use him all the time when I play 2on2 and 3on3 as Night Elf, mostly when I go Archers though.How about the heroes you can hire? I find Pit Lords to be quite effective. They pack quite a punch against groups of mid tier units, which is probably what you will be facing at the time you get him. Nice abilities too.
