How Pudge and Weaver perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pudge and Weaver win 48.53% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 18,918 matches.
Picking off a single hero is the main goal, with Pudge providing the catch and Weaver the damage. After a successful hook into Dismember, Weaver can easily secure the kill. The issue is that their synergy ends there. They lack any follow-up stuns or area control to manage the rest of the enemy team. Once Pudge has used his ultimate, their ability to control a teamfight is gone, leaving them exposed to being overrun. Weaver’s own kit is built around agility and escape, not locking down multiple targets.
This weakness means the enemy's best response is simply to stick together. During the laning phase, Pudge often struggles to create a safe lane for Weaver without a successful hook, as he offers little else a carry needs. In the mid-game, any coordinated push is tough to stop. Weaver will be forced to use Time Lapse to escape rather than to fight, and Pudge is left trying to find an opening on a team that is giving him none. They can punish mistakes, but they can't force a winning fight against a disciplined team.
