Good pudge players are really challenging
It takes some extra concentration to handle a game with Pudge
Have to check the map more frequently
And worst thing is when you're solo support trying to risk a ward without cover
They have vision by supports over there and he just hooks into the deep dark
Then he proceed to kill your other teammates who are good farmers
Pudge games are all about vision and map awareness
My only issue with Pudge is that hook does 360 PURE damage when maxed. This makes it the best non-ultimate nuke in the game by quite a bit. Sure you can dodge it but it really does not need to do that much damage considering how good and versatile the skill already is.
I agree with the OP's thoughts, i know its sort of a rage post - 8 times out of ten you can deal with a Pudge, then you get that one guy who plays Pudge so well that it's a nuisance. Borderline Techies 6.84 annoying.
He can own the early game and create enough space to win a game for his team, or as the OP said he can land that one crucial hook late game to turn a game back to your teams favor if you are losing. Getting a hook and dismember on their teams carry for a 3 second disable out of position is game changing. Still as people have mentioned, it's a rage post IMO because at the end of the day - vision and good timing trumps pudge. If he misses the hook he is useless. (for 11 seconds LOL).
Then there is the blink/dismember pudge which is a whole other beast to deal with. You cannot "dodge" a smoked pudge with a blink dagger and dismember ready to go.
Ooooor you can just position yourself well and not let pudge get his 15 min dagger by fishing everyone in the map
2 spells that interrupt channeling through BKB? Is there a new skill I don't know of, or a change to the mechanic regarding the interaction of hook and magic-immune targets?
Wait Hook mini-stuns magic-immune heroes!? I thought it did the pull and damage but no mini-stun is applied.
^ i still do not know mini stun or not about the hook, but it still change position and deal damage pure through magic immunity so ye.
maybe kinda rage post idk lul
i feel okay if he like unkillable after he got fed that the point of the hero was : tanky as fuck after succesfull gank / teamfight left and right
but he deals so much PURE damage with 4 sec cooldown with also gamechanger or secure kill fight become 4 vs 5
my point is like : as position 4, he is not falling off AT ALL. because his Aghs and his talent tree
he needs to do good early game, get a shitty lane die before getting xp and he is just a creep.
Hook doesnt ministun heroes with mag-imu.
Pudge is he best at tilting ppl, I keep getting support who flames me for getting hook and die, when pudge is getting ez hook from fog and there is no ward on the map.

just 3k scrub opinion
like now as roamer pudge can just rot from 00.00 with ez slow from rot , plus map control meta , bounty rune etc
but my point that i actually want to make is :
All pudge abilities feels very powerfull with minimum farm , and even gamechanging spell with 4 sec cooldown with aghs (hook)
i mean its okay right to have powerfull nuke as early game hero? and fall off late game like usual pos 4
but lately is not rare to see him 3k - 4k hp in later stage of the game thx to talent tree
2 spells that goes through bkb , interupt channeling both of them
and is not rare at all see him suicide after diving killing your carry early game
and focusing 10 sec to a fat pudge in teamfight is big actually
25ish % pickrate all bracket and consistent 53 % winrate. that is a pickrate with high winrate seriously far from a "meme hero"
hook + dismember + rot + hook again with aghs : that is spamable big nuke PURE + magic damage
i do not know ,i just never win versus pudge lately.
i just feel as position 4 to solo kill your mid or your carry at lvl 6 and beyond kinda powerfull maybe?
