I get that Dendi Pudge is a thing, but is the hook generally this hyped?
From my pov it seem as a pretty easy skill to use, it "hangs" there for a long time, it catches when going out and coming back in and it have a low CD.

The curse is real

Why is Chen so good?
pushes like a beast, and can save your carry no matter how fucked he is

In regards to pudge, it is really about getting the map control (vision) everywhere. If a pudge has to go blind, he fails.

Sorry if this is obvious , I still don't really understand the game and the subtle differences between all the heroes.

Clock's hook stun while pudge doesn't though.

Clockwerk hook is inferior damage wise because it's travel time is million times faster and longer range

Also doubles as an escape.

Are you calling me shallow for ayesee's negativity towards players and their playstyles? He gets the crowds to boo the players and the game of dota because he gets bored and you are calling me shallow. The guy spews nothing or incorrect information for the entirety of the game.

Yes. You are pathetically shallow for twisting scenarios to suit your own bias.

Have you heard any other caster twist the crowd to boo the game because he is bored?

I haven't seen a single caster "twist the crowd to boo the game because he is bored".
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Pudge hook does shitloads of damage, Clockwerk hook doesn't.

Is one harder to land than the other?

Hookshot travels a lot faster and Meat Hook's had parity issues that hurt its effectiveness for years.

Too much focus on Dendi, tbh. Kuro is not getting enough credit for his play. His setups are absolutely beautiful this game.

That's cause this is the best rubick play in the world and is basically expected now. He is seriously fucking incredible.

It doesn't catch when coming back, you have to hit with it head on. The graphics are way too big as well.

it looks easy to hit, but it's a pretty slow projectile and pudge gets destroyed mid without help from his team or lucky hooks

XBOCT shouldn't even be considered the weakest player on Na'Vi anymore. He's gotten much better especially during/after the China bootcamp.

If there's a "weak point" on Na'Vi, it's actually probably Kuroky, not because of his individual skill (which is fantastic), but because of how inconsistent he is about maintaining support basics in a losing game (wards most importantly). It's just that Na'Vi very rarely gets into games disadvantaged enough where that matters (and when Dendi plays Pudge, he buys wards/smoke for his solo ganks himself).

Then maybe you should watch the DK vs IG 96 minute game.

Pudge hooks does like 360 damage, and his Ult + Rot does huge damage over like 3 seconds right after. After that, Pudge doesn't offer anything. Clockwork has to hook (does good damage), then Cog and Flare + Battery Assault...the battery assault that does a lot of damage is over 9 seconds though. Clockwerk is picked more often because Cogs, Flare, and Battery Assault all offer good team fight control and utility (Flare is map hacks, Cogs can just mess movement up, Battery Assault is aoe mini stun)...Pudge is kind of like a one trick pony.
