Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pudge wins the Phantom Assassin vs Pudge matchup: Pudge beats Phantom Assassin in 55.77% of 5,689 ranked matches.
Jumping on Pudge seems like an easy kill, but it’s often a trap for Phantom Assassin. While she has incredible physical burst, Pudge’s natural tankiness from Flesh Heap means he can frequently live through the initial daggers and crits. This buys him the crucial window he needs to land Dismember. Since his ultimate pierces spell immunity, Phantom Assassin has no easy way to escape once she’s caught. He can hold her in place for his team to follow up, turning her own aggression against her. A fed Phantom Assassin can still win the fight, of course, but Pudge has the exact tools to survive her initial assault and lock her down for a counter-kill.
