How do you play pudge in high skill brackets/what pos is he in General Discussion
Chao Vritra

    I made a similar topic awhile ago and didn't really get any answers, just a few people saying he is unpicked. But I noticed that his pick rate is rather high even in the 5k+ bracket, so he is definitely getting picked at least a little bit. Is this because there are also dumb first pick pudge spammers in 5k just like in 2k and 3k?

    Seriously though, how is he played? I feel like this hero has changed a bit. I used to spam him all the time but stopped after not playing so much. Do people ever play him or offlane still? Or is it just a lane support/roam type thing? I love this hero so much, just feel like he is less viable and my skill with him has dropped a lot.

          Pudge fit himself into pos 4 in the current meta. Pos 3 just not reliable on him since pudge doesn't really require any items to roam/initiate. Pudge can be a good pos 4 support that helped the team to lock down the enemy with bkb popped out. And so far, it seems like pos 4 is the only position well fits for him.

            pudge is a position 4 roamer, you know analysing replays isn't that hard:
