How Omniknight and Pudge perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Omniknight and Pudge win 52.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,839 matches.
Trying to save a teammate from Pudge's Dismember becomes a real problem when Omniknight is around. The usual stuns and silences you'd throw at Pudge to break the channel get blocked by Heavenly Grace, which provides debuff immunity. This guarantees the full duration of the disable, letting Pudge's team pile on damage. Omniknight's healing also helps Pudge sustain through his own Rot and any return damage, making him a much more durable frontliner during these pickoffs. Guardian Angel can also turn a hook into a guaranteed tower dive by making Pudge immune to physical damage.
This pairing heavily depends on Pudge successfully initiating. If Meat Hooks are consistently missing, Omniknight can feel a bit stranded, as he doesn't offer much to help Pudge find those angles or escape if he's caught out. The duo also struggles against mobile lineups that can stay out of hook range or kite them effectively. While a successful hook-and-Grace combo can secure a kill, the enemy team can often play around it by maintaining vision and punishing the long cooldowns. The success of this lane really comes down to the Pudge player's accuracy.
