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.


 * Necrophos's Heartstopper passive can wear down your HP incredibly fast as it deals percentage damage based on total health. This can be deadly in long teamfights even if you are tankier than your entire team.
 * Reaper's Scythe damage is based on missing HP. A fully upgraded Necrophos with Aghanims's Sceptre can easily vaporize you at about 45% HP regardless of remaining health.

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.

Good against...

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.
