How Centaur Warrunner and Pudge perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Centaur Warrunner and Pudge win 51.33% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 23,047 matches.
Facing a charging team under Stampede makes it very difficult to keep your distance. This gives Pudge a much easier time closing the gap to land a point-blank Hook or simply walk up for a Dismember on a key target. If Centaur Warrunner gets in close first, his Hoof Stomp provides a perfect setup, holding an enemy in place for Pudge to follow up. The combination is all about forcing an engagement and piling lockdown onto a single hero. Both heroes are naturally tough, so they can stand their ground in the middle of the fight they create.
The game plan is straightforward but also predictable. Both heroes essentially fill the same role: a durable frontline initiator. This can leave the lineup short on damage or lacking tools to deal with elusive heroes. Enemies will learn to spread out to mitigate the impact of Stampede and Hoof Stomp, forcing Pudge into difficult, long-range Hook attempts. The success of this pairing often hinges on whether Pudge can consistently land his spells during the window Centaur creates. If that initial burst of control fails, both heroes can be kited and picked apart.
