'Hold' doesn't stop casting, but I'm pretty sure it does stop attacking (not autoattacking, just cancelling the current attack swing)

I believe it does if you have auto-attack turned off in the options menu.

And what was wrong with deso TA before this?

Wait, I thought the bugfix was regarding attacking item chests out of meld, nothing to do with how items worked with her?

How does one item have 2 modifiers?

For ex. Juggernaut sword has:

Unlocking chests gives you strange items and strange item modifiers. With a modifier you can add another counter to your strange item.

That i do not know. I thought the modifiers where for normal items, but it turns out they only work on items that are already strange.

Why is it so rare to see Pudge in pro games?

Because pro teams will always have ward, will always know approximately where pudge is. And he relies vastly on landing hooks, which is hard to do with latency and due to the fact that the ennemy team are not random scrubs.

There are better gankers that are more reliable and easier to lane. Also good players are very hard to hook

But aren't there players that are really good with Pudge and who can pretty much make the other team cry with hooks?

Pudge mostly takes advantage of the other team's disorganization. In a fight he's relatively useless.
I liked Dota before it was Mainstream.

Even if you're good at landing hooks, people are also good at dodging them. It's far more efficient to take a ganker like Nightstalker.

Hook can be dodged, so unless you stand still, or are forced into a line there's a big chance that you can evade it.

And it doesn't matter how good you are, until you have levels you're pretty much useless, and he loses most lanes.

He loses some lanes, and wrecks others. TA, for instance, is a pain in the arse to most heroes, but pudge can deal with TA absolutely fine.

You can't just blindly pick pudge, but when he's useful, by god is he useful. You also need to realise that he's not likely to win his lane, and you need to be able to deal with that, and compensate for it with ganking. He lanes to get levels, not farm or win the lane.
For every battle honour a thousand heroes die alone, unsung, and unremembered.
