Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Pudge wins the Pudge vs Pugna matchup: Pudge beats Pugna in 53.40% of 52,193 ranked matches.
Controlling the map against Pugna is much simpler when you have a Pudge on your team. A successful Meat Hook completely ruins Pugna's positioning, pulling him away from the safety of his team and his Nether Ward. Once isolated, he has no innate way to stop a full Dismember channel, which is almost always a death sentence. Pudge's magic resistance from Flesh Heap also lets him shrug off a lot of the return damage from Nether Blast or the ward itself. Even if Pugna tries to use Decrepify to save a hooked ally, it only amplifies the magic damage from Rot and Dismember, making the kill that much easier.
