Getting dragged out of position by a Meat Hook is often a death sentence for Viper. He's a slow hero with no real escape, making him a prime target for Pudge's whole combo. While Viper's damage-over-time spells are potent, Pudge naturally becomes incredibly durable against them thanks to the magic resistance and bonus health from Flesh Heap. He can frequently survive Viper's full assault. The lockdown from Dismember is also long enough to kill Viper before he can retaliate or be saved. Even though Corrosive Skin punishes Pudge for using Rot, his enormous health pool and the healing from Dismember let him tank through it to secure the kill.
