Shadow Fiend/Counters

Bad against...
A competent Pudge will wreak havoc on any Shadow Fiend in the early game. Pudge has superior early game last-hitting ability to deny Shadow Fiend charges on his Necromastery. He also is able to easily kill Shadow Fiend from Lvl. 2 onwards by Hooking him into tower range and Rotting away without fear of any disables. He can also simply walk up to Shadow Fiend, Rot, and then Hook for an easy kill. Since Pudge is a snowball hero, he can easily grow in strength by bullying a Shadow Fiend into obsolescence.
