How to counter Pudge

In lane

In game

  • • If Ursa gets hooked with Meat Hook he can use Enrage instantly to turn around and fight. • Ursa usually shreds Pudge due to Fury Swipes. • Ursa can buy Aghanim's Scepter to use Enrage while Dismembered.
  • • Pudge can amass a lot of strength during the game, making Whirling Death very potent against him.

Items

  • Spirit Vessel
    • This is a great item as it reduces Pudge's health regeneration, his spell lifesteal, his healing from Dismember and it reduces health by a percentage of current health.
  • Observer Ward
    • It is much easier to dodge Meat Hook if you can see where he is.
