Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pudge wins the Clinkz vs Pudge matchup: Pudge beats Clinkz in 53.10% of 18,328 ranked matches.
Picking Clinkz into a Pudge means you're accepting a certain risk. Pudge's entire game plan often revolves around punishing a single hero caught out of position, which is exactly how Clinkz operates when hunting for kills. A successful Meat Hook pulls Clinkz from safety and sets up an easy Dismember. That lockdown is usually more than enough time for Pudge's team to arrive and secure the kill on such a fragile target. Clinkz has very few ways to survive being held down like that.
The laning phase can be fine for Clinkz, but once Pudge starts rotating, the pressure mounts. The Clinkz player has to be extremely disciplined with positioning and assume Pudge is always carrying detection. Your goal is to bait out the hook onto a teammate or force Pudge to miss, which creates a critical window for you to go on the offensive. This matchup hinges entirely on Pudge landing that one key ability; if he can't find you, his impact is severely limited.
