How Crystal Maiden and Pudge perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Pudge win 55.53% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,196 matches.
Facing a Pudge lane becomes a nightmare when he has a Crystal Maiden. Her Frostbite is a long, reliable root that makes landing Meat Hook almost guaranteed. This setup isn't limited to the early game; any hero caught by Frostbite in the mid-game is likely getting pulled out of position and killed. In teamfights, Pudge can use Dismember to hold a key target inside Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field, effectively deleting them from the fight. The constant threat of a root into a hook makes playing against this duo incredibly stressful, and their ultimates combine to secure kills on even the most durable heroes.
