Dota 2 - Which Heroes work well with Pudge?

Introduction

Pudge is one of the heroes in Dota 2 that you just hate to be against. Even if he doesn't do that much damage early on, the fact that you can get hooked at any given time is more than enough to make your life miserable. Apart from the exceptions where Pudge is played as a core, this hero is usually roaming support. However, there are certain heroes that work very well with him, especially in certain circumstances. So, without further ado, let's take a look at some of the best heroes that you can pick with pudge.

Lich

After Lich was reworked, he works with pretty much anything, including Pudge. Lich has a shield that slows, as well as an additional slow, and a spell that disables the enemies. This makes him perfect for Pudge because the hero can just walk over you with Rot and use his Hook to finish you of. Nowadays, this combo is becoming more and more popular, and we definitely don't wish anyone to lane against it.

Venomancer

At first sight, this might seem like a useless combo but that's not the case. Thanks to Veno's slow and poison damage, Pudge guarantees himself a kill every time when Venomous Gale lands on a target. Needless to say, there could be deadly consequences during the laning stage, especially the hero doesn't have a way to escape.

Omniknight

Pudge and Omniknight were one of the most annoying Dota 2 combos that were really popular before. These two heroes work well together because both of them have slow and do damage. However, in the case of Omni, he does damage while also healing his allies, which is very strong.
