Introduction

Hello all!
This is my guide to playing Pudge, Please don't hate me this guide is a work in progress I will update it as often as possible.

So for those who have chosen pudge let us begin:

Pudge is a hero that takes some time to master, his first skill Meat Hook can be hard to land. I would advise that noobie players (less experienced players) not to pick up pudge unless you already have a hardcarry on your team and they will not need to rely on you.

Pros/ cons

Pros-
-Good Initiator
-Tanky
-Supporter
-Ganker
-Roamer

-Cons
-Useless if the player has no experience
-Ability to feed badly at the start
-Vulnerable to magic damage
-waste mana due to hook miss= die early

I am not going to go into great detail of pudges skills they are listed above.

This build suites the way I play, it may not suite the way you play, there are alot of other builds that might possibly be better than mine.

Reasons why I chose the skill set:

- Getting decay/rot early lets you slow your enemies (great for early ganks)
-Ability to get a tower kill with just one level in each decay/rot and meat hook.
-Getting two points in meat hook and rot before flesh heap let you gank early and set up kills.
-You should be able to snag at least 2-3 kills with help before level 6 (if you are roaming)
- You will be able to support your team better if you max your rot and hook early.

Key things to remember while playing pudge:
-Always be on the lookout for team ganks as you are likely to get ganked if doing well.
-Always keep an eye on your map, know where everyone is.
-Use the forest for protection, enter the forest before going for a gank
-Always initiate the team fights,
-Use your hook on allies to save them from getting killed.

you should replace the ac with a shiva because pudge doesnt need attack speed and the slow with shiva helps you do more damage with rot

Hmm well rayzorpenguin shiva is in the luxuary section. the reason why I went with AC before shiva is because most people prefer it over shiva. But I do see your point, most competative players will pickup shiva, but this is not a competative build this is just a general build, the way I build and play pudge.

messing around with rot and flesh heap I can understand, extra bit of str early + the magic resistance
But not maxing hook by 7, I'm not ok - Hook needs to be max first, end of - there is no other build, you could be jungling pudge, and that would still me max hook.. sorry mate -1

I agree with jaslam. You need to max hook ASAP, as level 1-2 hook range is pathetic.
