Now today I went fuck it and starting picking PL. However it seems like the matchmaker has finally decided it's time for me to win because in both games I played today, my team literally won 4v5 without me. The second game I even had to lane safe lane solo against WR + kunkka doing some Zhou-style 1-protect-4 but then suddenly all the other lanes win, mid pudge wins against invoker (wtf LOL), goes like 8-0 in 15 minutes and their alch who was laning safe lane solo against our Slark + Axe got utterly decimated. Valve MMR lmao.
In all seriousness though, I know that Valve has publicly announced that their matchmaking doesn't try to enforce winrates and never looks at your past winrate, but it's games like this that really make you scratch your head and wonder what really goes on in matchmaking.
Yes, the matchmaking is crappy. Basically my game history is made up by win streaks and loss streaks, there's rarely a streak of mixed results.
Yup.
The day before yesterday. I lost like 7 games in a row.
Yesterday, won like 7 games in a row. Now just lost 2 games.
Rarely have a mixed win/loss ratio. Usually a long winning streak followed by losing streak. Rinse and repeat.

How do you win your lane as Pudge vs Invoker ? Please tell me. There is no way Pudge can survive cold snap harass.
At level 3, you can barely survive a straight up manfight vs Invoker. That should let you snowball well enough. Otherwise, exp hug til level 5, which is the second point in time you can win another manfight. Your ideal fight would be with the help of creeps or towers of course. The latter will be near-impossible if the Invoker is a good mid/has wards on the high ground, so you have to time your hook (and land it) within a second of the last enemy creep dying.

The matchmaking system is broken.
Win and loss streaks without context and confirmation bias? This is like the worst proof of the matchmaking system being broken.

You try for a level 2/3 kill. If success, you won that lane. If fail, tough it out till level 6 with bottle crow and try to kill him again. As for gold,i assume you know how to pull the creep line back so that you at least get a couple of last hits.
In my experience, Invoker will win a manfight from level 4 onwards, even if he is hooked. He needs to cast both cold snap and sunstrike. Especially if Invoker has creep advantage.
From level 7 Pudge goes back to winning if he uses both his spells.
I'm still trying to figure are you agreeing or disagreeing with me hahaha. Or are you just expanding on my post?

Watch Dendi? Half his pudge games he seems to be facing an invoker.
The one thing he does is he doesn't bottle rush, so he starts with a lot of hp and regen (gauntlets, tango, 2 salves, 3 branches i think). So most pub pudges seem to have low hp and can't win a 1v1 with a strong right clicker, but dendi's 6 strength (114 hp) + tango (345) + 2 salves (800, even more since he drops items) is a lot to go through. There's no way you should be out by level 3.
Invoker should have ... 682 hp to your 853 hp, and he loses 180 if he gets hooked, how is he manfighting you.

Why do you manfight or try to contest invoker in mid lane. Just took levels and gank non stop. Either your overall positioning in lane or the mentality of this match-up is wrong. Let him cs/deny. You grab XP at level 7, smoke, go other lanes and kill them.
