Dota 2 all mid pudge’s blue

Dota 2 Top 5 Pudge Players of all time

After recently covering too many professional Top ‘this’ and Top ‘that’ in Dota 2, we thought about writing for the most beloved hero of all. Dota 2 players around the world, even though the best or the worst have at least tried a hook or two with the butcher. Yes, Pudge is the most played hero in Dota 2 and we are here to tell you the top 5 Pudge players you should watch next time you want to learn how to play Pudge.

Black^
First stop is Black^. Currently playing for mousesports, Black^ is a guy that can play with almost any hero. And that is why Pudge is no stranger to him as well. No matter how important the match, if the team wants a roaming nuke then Pudge is nothing but heaven for Black. Being able to dominate early game, Black’s Pudge allows his team to just snowball like crazy. His Hook percentage is pretty insane as well allowing him to position himself for the best possible outcome. Black has an astonishing 62% winrate with Pudge. Even though we don’t see Pudge very often but this is a pocket strat that can be of use anytime. Here’s just a glimpse of what devastation Black^ can bring with his Pudge.

FoREv
Players don’t know much about FoRev but he definitely is one of the best Pudge players out there. With amazing skills and predictions, FoRev is just a nightmare when it comes to his Pudge. FoRev is a key player in Team MVP and we want him to stay that way, so that he can own. FoReV sits with the highest win rate for Pudge at an astounding 75%. We probably won’t see much of his Pudge in competitive games, but who cares? As long as we see Pudge owning the crap out of the enemy team we are happy with it. FoRev does absolutely what we want, ANNIHILATION.

w33haa
You guys mostly know him for his insane Meepo, but trust me; w33haa is absolutely not limited to that uglier version of Tyrion Lannister. The Europe’s best Dota 2 player, well in terms of leader boards is amazing when it comes to hooking enemies from where they didn’t even know. It’s been quite some time w33haa has played Pudge but, whenever he does there is nothing more fun to watch. w33haa has a 60% win rate with the old man and his Pudge is as scary as his Meepo. Here’s a look;

The Magical hexOr
Back in the days of DotA, this guy was probably the best Pudge player, showing off his skills with the name of hOlyhexOr. There is almost no one who has ever dreamt of playing a good Pudge and hasn’t watched hexOr’s insane plays with Pudge. Even though there are tons of wannabe Pudge players out there, no one is even close to the skills that hexOr has with this hero.

Dendi
Well, who doesn’t know Dendimon for his Pudge skills? Dendi was the reason people actually thought of picking Pudge in professional matches. Being able to create strategies around the hero, Dendi is the most fearsome Pudge player out there. The historical Pudge and Chen combo that was introduced for the first time in Dota 2 history created a mark of what wonders Dendi can make with the hero. Dendi currently has a 62% winrate with the hero, but who cares for numbers when it’s Dendi’s Pudge.

Can’t Hook cause you are lagging? Try Kill Ping and you won’t miss your hooks. EVER!

General DiscussionWhy do people pick pudge?

..other than to ruin games obviously..

Most of the players that pick pudge are from the cis or eastern europe, and all of them want to be like dendi

Because getting a hook is one of the most amazing feelings in the world?

Can’t blame em for wanting to feel good, but you can blame them for sucking.

Anytime I ask them why they pick him
” PUDGE SO OP XDXDXD ecks dee XD ”
Proceeds to lose everything ;-;

you can blame dendi for it..

Yes Dendi, the wow factor of getting hooks, and hero infatuation. Hes a cockney butcher that eats people. There is a ring to that people think is so cool. However, I do hate when people pick pudge, hes either godlike or feeding and hes a liability on a team. I feel the same with tinkers and invokers cause they need to either be babysat or have way too much breathing space. I have like 80 games with pudge and I haven’t touched him in a good 5 months because of how people see that hero.

cause he has a good voiceover

When you play games as Pudge or Mirana don’t you feel the HNNGGGG when you land crazy hooks/arrows?

I just hate it when you’re doing well until some ally notices you missed a hard target to grab and starts bashing you.
Pudge with a good support team though. whole map stays warded/counter-warded and hooks come from everywhere.

Because 0/3 ;mid pudge in 10 mins is 18/3 in my games when he’s muh enemi

pudge in my team: cyka mid plz wards suka where is team.

People pick Pudge because he’s such a lazy fat bastard, all he really needs is kills and he can easily get them. I think that Pudge is easy and hard at the same time, If you practice it hooking is easy at for the most part but playing against competent players that know how to avoid getting killed by a Pudge is the definitely the hardest part of playing this hero and that’s mostly why you see a lot of people not doing well with Pudge. They can’t hook or the enemy team just knows how to deal with a Pudge unless the player they’re up against is better than them.

You need bals to play pudge, so Russians think they will get bigger bals if they play pudge. Unfortunately we know how that ends up

same reason they pick bs, they live in a dream world and think they are gonna rape, while in reality they gonna fail miserably

I dont mind a Mirana on um team mainly because she adds to it, Pudges are just burdens

people play heroes that are fun :O shocking

^ I don’t think they are getting much fun with 0/11/3 scores.

i play pudge whenever i have a tb on the team –>takes away the focus ^^
100% success except that time people fed on purpose since the start so i dont count that as a game 😀

you would be surprised I know some people who lose so much feed and still like playing

Well.. I personally love pudge but I know most people suck with pudge.

most of them know their hook accuracy is below 20% even aganist afk targets but level of ignorance is just 2 strong

its actually funny when people say that most people suck with pudge while they believe that they play a good one
there’s like 5 people on each continent who can play pudge at an acceptable level
most people dont even buy smokes and if you dont buy smokes on that hero youre actually just awful

i pick pudge when i WANT to lose
the hero is horrible
other than pubs vs retards it never works

Because Pudge’s middle name is “mid or feed”

because the concept of playing pudge seems cool, but then you fuck up every hook and feed relentlessly

its a fun hero, hence people pick it.

Yeah well nonetheless I still believe my pudge is acceptable. I know it’s a difficult hero for many. I think you’re being a little over dramatic but that’s just my opinion.

cuz they have lots of fun with him

I find that most players go through a “pubstomper of choice” phase. Some people play 70 games of drow, some people play spirit breaker all the time, some people are addicted to riki, and some are addicted to pudge. most newbies tend to try out new heroes after getting stomped or watching a stomp get done by a specific hero. If enemy pudge goes 33-0, you will be inclined to try this hero, thus all the pudge, riki, drow, sniper, sb picks in low tier games.

When I was brand new to dota 2 and i got fed up of losing with the friends who introduced me to the game, i decided to solo queue and i got obliterated by riki. What do I do? I play riki nonstop for a whole month. Eventually I got my ass handed to me by a TA, so then I went on to play TA, and I did so well with her until I met Pudge. *insert 50+ games of pudge here*
