Dota 2 - Pudge Build Guide

BIO
In the Fields of Endless Carnage, far to the south of Quoidge, a corpulent figure works tirelessly through the night--dismembering, disembowelling, piling up the limbs and viscera of the fallen that the battlefield might be clear by dawn. In this cursed realm, nothing can decay or decompose; no corpse may ever return to the earth from which it sprang, no matter how deep you dig the grave. Flocked by carrion birds who need him to cut their meals into beak-sized chunks, Pudge the Butcher hones his skills with blades that grow sharper the longer he uses them. Swish, swish, thunk. Flesh falls from the bone; tendons and ligaments part like wet paper. And while he always had a taste for the butchery, over the ages, Pudge has developed a taste for its byproduct as well. Starting with a gobbet of muscle here, a sip of blood there...before long he was thrusting his jaws deep into the toughest of torsos, like a dog gnawing at rags. Even those who are beyond fearing the Reaper, fear the Butcher.

INTRODUCTION

This is a straight line skill so you must predict your opponent's movement before casting a Meat Hook. This skill can also be used to save allies from enemies.

Why take Rot for first skill? With this skill, you can get firstblood. You should ask your friend who is a stunner or slower and he can helps you disables your enemy to get firstblood.

Why maxed Meat Hook first? With more level of Meathook, the range will be increased, this is what you need to gank opponent from the fog.

STRATEGY
Early Game
On early game, you should lasthits creeps to increase your gold and level quickly. Pudge need some items before he start ganking.
If you take the mid lane, it will be better for you because you can earn level quickly. And then you can level up quickly your Meat hook and Rot into level 3 or 4 which are more stronger.

You better start ganking other lane if you already level 6 - 10, and kill enemies there. You can get firstblood in early game with your Meathook + Dismember + Rot. You also need your friend's help to make sure you get the kills. You need additional stunner / disabler that makes you can maximize the damage from Rot. You can also deal some additional damage using Meathook again.
If you can get some kills on early game, the rest of the game will b eeasier for you.

Mid Game


Here I give some examples of where you can hide and hook your target. Red dot is better for Radiant and Yellow dot is better for Dire.

In mid game you should haunting enemies all around the maps. You should hide inside the jungle and ready to Hook enemy. And then eat them until death. There are some spot you can hide as a Pudge, and if enemies are not aware and place some additional wards, they will be your easy prey. What you need to do is waiting in beside the lane and hooking anyone who is not aware and kill him using Rot + Dismember. You are the beast here and they are the prey. They should pray not to be eaten by you.

Dota 2 - Pudge Build Guide

Late Game
General late Game theory:
On late game. The teamfight will be very intense. Beware! if your team lose a single teamfight it may cost you the game.

You should already reached high level here so you have an all high level of skills and also an already high sats, HP and damage. And so does ebverybody in the map. And also with the high level, that means a long respawn time. That means that every move is becoming more important and decisive. So keep focus and also don't be panic at every sitaution. Always think clearly and use all you have.

Here you should make a wise decision to choose between 2 options:
1. To save money for buyback
2. To buy your next item
How to choose between those two? you may see how important is your next item. You can see it by: If you don't buy that item immediately, your team's can't compete with the enemy's power so buy it immediately, but if the item is not that important, you should save for buyback.

In late game your main part is: To kidnap one of enemy heroes and make him killed before the teamfight even start! With that, the enemy will forced to fight your team with 4 man or to retreat. Try to catch one, that is your job. If you success, 80% your team will win the teamfight with 4 vs 5. This will definitely make your team has more chance to win. In late game, one person become much more important because all heroes will become strong. You need to hook properly and then use Rot and Dismember and together with your friends you can kill the enemy.

And if your team won the teamfight, you have two options:
1. You can get the Aegis for your team's main hero or
2. Your team can push enemy base and destrouy their buildings. Choose wisely!
