How Leshrac and Pudge perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Leshrac and Pudge win 52.11% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,555 matches.
Playing against a Pudge and Leshrac lane can feel dangerous. A successful Meat Hook can lead directly into a Dismember, holding a target still long enough for Leshrac to land a Split Earth. With the target stunned and held, Leshrac is then free to apply his other damage spells. This setup provides a simple, direct way to lock down and burst one hero, which can create a lot of pressure and secure kills in the early game.
The trouble is that their entire plan relies on Pudge landing that initial hook. If he can't connect, Leshrac often lacks the setup he needs to land Split Earth on his own. Beyond that single-target kill threat, their kits don't overlap very well. They can struggle to coordinate their timings, as Leshrac wants to farm and push lanes while Pudge often wants to roam. If the initial hook-and-burst fails in a teamfight, they're left with two heroes who are individually strong but lack a clear second plan.
