Pugna
Pugna: Ranged, position 5 (hard support), position 4 (soft support), Nuker, Pusher. In patch 7.41f the hero has a 50.1% win rate in pubs and a 4.7% pick rate.
A crafty trickster, Pugna turns the enemy's power against itself as he blasts their defenses. While his nether ward strikes nearby foes that dare to cast a spell, he drains life from enemies to ensure he will be ready for the next assault.
