Thats a nice reply, sure shows teamliquid quality! At least the other guy gave me some background info. Anyway, yeah I guess I was wrong. I just assumed so, since his pudge is so popular. But then again, pulls are funny to get. And I could see why everyone would enjoy playing him. | ||

They love to hook and bite people  On a serious note, pudge has always been very very popular in pub and the reason is obvious, he is very fun to play. | ||

Would be amazing yah. I sometimes just imagine playing some form of arena map where everyone goes free for all or something lol and hoenstly, id have the greatest time  anyways, I have been playing a lot of junglers in my low mmr range and my first game as Lycan, i went 0-7 into 7-10 and i was like wat? Im fairly new to jungling in DotA but ive been learning to pull creeps for my long lane if they ask. I also have been told to farm off the easy camps for a while until im strong and leveled enough. So far, ive had great luck with my Lycan jungle and my Enigma Jungle and i have jungled Furion, Lifestealer and Axe. I know that Lone druid can jungle too but i heard its not amazing. I have yet to try Chen, Ursa, Bloodseeker and Enchantress in the jungle but id like to know are there more junglers i can try? Its just a question coming from someone who played LoL where Riot just made the jungle viable for many champions. | ||

1) Don't need to know how to lasthit--just spam Blast on waves and get runes or bottle+crow 2) Don't need to gank well--just run into lanes and blast down their towers 3) Just put down ward in fights--90% of pubs don't know to right click it down first, so they just charge in, spam all their spells and suicide to your ward Sure he's kinda squishy but given how much people don't know how to play against him, and how devastating Nether Ward is if you don't kill it early, he really should not be bottom 3 in winrate. | ||

Its just a question coming from someone who played LoL where Riot just made the jungle viable for many champions. Don't use bloodseeker in jungle. His slight power lies in inanse sustain in mid lane through feast. There are no more real junglers except darkseer. He can jungle well. Fake junglers however!(as in they should not be in the woods but it works.) You can play an ancient stacking BM and use axes to kill them while soaking xp from long lane. You can run a KOTL jungle by stacking the small creep camps over and over. Then blasting it to death and proceeding to do it to multiple other. Tide can do the same with anchor smash+kraken shell EDIT: why would pubs read what ward does? Also pugnas will go mid and feed the opponent mid who will proceed to completely stomp everything | ||

Its just a question coming from someone who played LoL where Riot just made the jungle viable for many champions. Lone Druid jungle is amazing... Its very key to get small camps precisely. Once you're lvl 3 you're bear can solo large camps easily. The skill build is always gonna be 3/0/2. Build Stout Shield and Ring of Protection, and a couple branches (for yourself). It should hold you over till you get Tranq boots (personal favorite). Once you have enough for Tranq boots you should be lvl 5 and your bear will start to run like the wind. Now you're a threat to anyone on your respective side lane. All you need to do is just show yourself and say "Hey Im here". And if it just so happens you get a root on first or second hit, then thats practically a free kill with very little assist or follow up from your ally. From here I go Medallion of Courage and build Treads for myself. Then eventually radiance/basher/ac etc etc. | ||

The micro of both bear/hero takes a fair amount of practice and the enemy heroes can easly kill you if you screw up | ||
