Pangolier relies on Rolling Thunder and Roll Up, which make him debuff immune with magic resistance while he knocks enemies back and stuns them. A rolling Pangolier shrugs off most disables, so the window is before the roll starts or an effect that pierces debuff immunity. Lucky Shot slows attack speed and cuts armor on any damage he deals, and break stops that proc.
Counter items
Abyssal BladeOverwhelm pierces debuff immunity and stuns a rolling or curled-up Pangolier.
Silver EdgeBreak disables Lucky Shot's attack speed slow and armor reduction for 5 seconds.
