How Underlord and Pudge perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord and Pudge win 55.33% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,373 matches.
Finding a reliable partner for Pudge can be tricky, but Underlord provides some very straightforward answers. A well-placed Pit of Malice makes landing a hook much easier, or it lets Pudge simply walk up and use Dismember on a rooted target. Once that target is held down, Underlord can guarantee multiple waves of Firestorm land for heavy damage. This turns Pudge's single-target pickoff potential into a more reliable teamfight initiation. Both heroes also enjoy fighting in the thick of things, and Fiend's Gate can help get the slow-moving Pudge into or out of a fight he otherwise couldn't reach.
