loll. Very informative post and XD at the russian kids growing up thing. Also deny XP is a good point I never thought of that.
So could you get away with mid pudge with the right composition or is this pretty much always shit now? His base damage is decent but it is just too easy to gank him mid.
Also, I was curious, who are some good pudge players to watch now that the dendi era is done? I really like Qupe, Jenkins, and have watched a little leviathin or whatever his name is. What are some other good ones?
mostly what goethe said
it didnt rlly matter what happened to mid pudge in lane, cuz he wud get as fast a lvl 6 as possible, and then gank constantly
now mid is much more of a farming role, and the supports do the ganking
since pudge always wants to be ganking, he is now the roaming support.

I know mid pudge has always been pretty bad but it used to sort of work. I personally think the hook speed nerf was huge. And made him rely on sitting in the fog a lot more, not necessarily contesting a lane or getting an early game farm advantage.
I know he is way better as a roamer or offlaner and that is the main reason he does not get played mid anymore. But even aside from this I feel it is way worse than it was before. I tried it on my smurf and got decent amount of kills but died several times (which I try not to do on smurf) but it just felt harder and I did not necessarily shut down mid like mid pudge used to.
I am just curious more than anything on what killed this trend. Even in lower bracket pub games pudge does not get played mid. I am not trying to make a case for it or say it is good, I personally love pos 4 pudge and have been playing it since they buffed hook range early levels.
