So I love playing pudge, hes great fun and hard to master. One of the big problems with learning Pudge is learning to hook and more importantly, how to hook, rot, dismember combo flawlessly. I've spent many hours playing with bots practicing, which is not very fun and doesn't give you much feedback.
While searching for images of pudge hooking for a t-shirt design I want to do, I found this.....
http://weneedwards.com/meathook/
Its a game made in Unity for the express purpose of hook training. Its awesome. If you play dota, or if you don't, this mini game is great fun. It has a bunch of modes, including blind hook mode, in which your hook spell is disabled until the target goes invis, then after about a second you can hook, its very challenging and great fun, way more fun than practicing in bots mode. You don't have to wait for spawns etc, you just get an endless procession of targets to hook.
As you land more hooks, you get more items such as boots, phase boots, blink and forcestaff. You even get bonus points for hook, rot, dismember combos... which aren't so easy to hit, you have to nail the dismember as the target lands infront of you as they die almost instantly.
props to whomever made this game, thought I'd share it here because I know I'm not the only one who didn't know this game exists.

I can't click dismember on anything while it's being hooked.

Yeah you have to hook, rot then dismember as the target lands. No shift queuing or early dismember clicks. You have to nail the combo, imagine how easy it will be in game when CAN shift queue ;p

No such thing as a retired hero, they go in and out of style like anything else in life. Lycan is all the rage right now, as is Ember but that will change in time. Pudge got more relevant when he was allowed to have blink dagger, hes just out of vogue atm in the pro scene.

Dendi played Pudge in a tournament game around mid March iirc

The movement patterns in the invis mode actually make it easier for me to land hooks than I thought it would be, I had about a 60% hitrate after 100 hooks.

i don't know if you people notice but hooks on dota 2 is much easier than wc3 dota.
For some reason it's easier.

Better hit recognition in the engine probably, also I think the hitboxes more accurately represent the hero model in the dota 2 engine than in the wc3 one.
