Counter Tips

How to beat Pudge

Stay behind creeps and allies so hooks must thread through bodies, keep vision on his position.

Buy Force Staff or use mobility spells to sidestep hooks, Pudge is far less effective without landing them.

Pick high mobility heroes like Slark or Ember Spirit to dodge hooks and hunt him down after a miss.

Pressure him early before Flesh Heap stacks accumulate, he is a slow and easy gank target early.

Do not clump up near allied heroes, a clean hook on the carry turns a fight instantly.
