Tips
How to Play
The trick to landing a Hook is to lead the target and click where you think they will be when the Hook gets to them.
Hook will pull in allies, so use it to save your friends from death.
Hook plus Rot is Pudge's bread and butter combo, together they make a deadly team.
In team fights always be in the thick of things with Rot going to pressure enemies.
