Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pudge wins the Chen vs Pudge matchup: Pudge beats Chen in 64.66% of 266 ranked matches.
Drafting Chen into a potential Pudge game is a massive risk. Pudge’s entire kit seems designed to dismantle what Chen wants to do. Meat Hook can easily pick off your most valuable persuaded creeps from a safe distance, undoing your gank or push before it even starts and turning your army into a liability. The threat isn't limited to the creeps, either. If Pudge manages to hook Chen, it’s almost always a kill between Rot and Dismember. Chen has no innate escape and is too fragile to survive being pulled so far out of position. This constant threat makes it incredibly difficult for Chen to build momentum.
