Pudge Dota 2

Pudge the Butcher is a formidable melee strength hero who strikes fear into the hearts of all with his incredible ganking prowess. Although he may not look intimidating at first glance, Pudge is one of the most powerful gankers and disablers in the game, with his trio of active abilities proving to be more than sufficient to take down fragile enemy heroes in the early- and mid-game. His signature ability, Meat Hook, is a grappling hook that shoots out in a straight line; if it latches onto a target, it will drag them back to Pudge, inflicting massive damage on them if they are an enemy. Although it can be tricky to use effectively, Meat Hook is a highly potent ganking and initiation spell due to its ability to displace enemies and also has the added utility of being able to rescue an endangered ally. He can then follow up with his ultimate, Dismember, a channeled disable that deals further damage to the target over a few seconds and increases in lethality the more strength Pudge possesses, while also healing Pudge for its duration. During this period, he can activate Rot to deal even more damage as he consumes his foe, and use it to slow and finish them off if they survive the initial assault. To supplement his killing power is Flesh Heap, which provides him with some magic resistance to reduce the damage he takes from Rot as well as from other enemy spells. The most intimidating aspect of Flesh Heap, however, is that it provides Pudge with a permanent strength bonus for every kill that he participates in, making him harder to kill and increasing the damage of Dismember as the game progresses.
