Best heroes to pair with Pudge in Dota 2 7.41e, and the worst pairings, ranked by team win rate over ranked matches.
Pudge hands a single isolated, slowed target to his team — he wants burst follow-up and AoE that punishes the pick. He pairs best with nukers and clump control: Spectre and Wraith King finish whatever Pudge drags in, while Crystal Maiden and Grimstroke chain control and burst onto the hooked hero. Tidehunter loves the grouped fights Pudge forces. Give Pudge a team that converts one hook into a kill, and his ganks snowball the map.
