Pudge/Counters

Bad against...

 * Reason


 * Pudge has slow attack speed. So Tresdin can duel with Pudge easily even Pudge tankier than her.


 * Pudge has slow attack speed. So Axe can Berserker's Call him and Blademail against Rot.


 * Due to Lifestealer's feast, if Pudge cannot kill him immediately Lifestealer will quickly regain all his health with a few hits on Pudge because of Pudge's naturally high health.
 * Lifestealer's rage will also negate Dismember damage if casted quickly enough.


 * Reaper's Scythe calculate from percentage. So when Pudge has few percentage of HP, he can deliver long lasting death to Pudge but Lotus Orb may reflect back to you.

Others

 * Pudge is strong versus heroes with low health, being able to kill them with a combo. On the other hand, tanky heroes are strong versus Pudge because they can survive and even turn the fight around.

Items

Good against...

 * Reason


 * All of zeus' abilities have either long casting animations or are too low damage to do any significant damage


 * Pugna is a very weak hero and abilities like his nether ward and nether blast are all but useless as they are a delayed counter


 * Lina like many others has the abilities to nuke pudge down very quickly, unfotunatley Lina players very get the chance to do so as they are almost dead before even laguna blade can be cast and then you either have the choice of wasting your ultimate and dying or simply dying to pudge


 * Reason

Others

 * Templar Assassin
 * Nature's Prophet
 * Death Prophet

Works well with...

 * Pudge can hook enemies into mines, which can guarantee a kill.


 * Reason


 * Arc Warden can quickly build up a large amount of spark wraiths for pudge to stand in and hook players or using Flux for slow single enemy which make Pudge hook easier.


 * Reason


 * life stealer is a very strong hero that can do and take a lot of damage life stealers major weakness is being able to get into combat with other players this can be done with a blink dagger lay ,but especially early game with pudges' hook. These two in a lane together should be able to dominate any other players in their lane and possibly roam to the middle lane to help if need be.
