Pudge: Melee, position 3 (offlane), position 4 (soft support), Disabler, Initiator, Durable, Nuker. In patch 7.41f the hero has a 51.3% win rate in pubs and a 27.2% pick rate.

Each carefully aimed throw of Pudge's signature hook strikes fear into his foes. Pulling his enemies near to carve them with his cleavers, he gains additional health and damage with every kill, and soon becomes an unstoppable killer.

AI coach

A review of your Pudge game

Sign in with Steam and pick a match: the coach reads the replay second by second and in a couple of minutes shows where the game slipped.

  • Every death and fight becomes a moment on the map: the fog of war as you saw it, and what the enemy saw that second.
  • Your pace against the Pudge benchmark: 406 GPM for an average player, 520 for a good one.
  • Timings against pros: they have Blink Dagger by minute 18, and the coach shows where you lose time.
  • Five-game homework the coach checks in your next review, plus a chat with the coach about the match.
