1v1 pudge build tips? (I MEAN PUDGE VS PUDGE)

[stale_gecko]

So often times my friend would always taunt me about how im bad at pudge. Then one thing leads to another and we 1v1. So right now its 2-0 (im winning, lol noob) and I want some tips on a good build to ♥♥♥♥ him up. A minute ago I won with bottle, urn, boots of speed, hood of def, ogre club, and mythrill hammer (I was building a bkb). Is my build good? or does it need some tweaks?

honestly in a 1v1 pudge doesn't seem to be good (as far as I have seen) because he is kind of reliant on getting early kills and gaining a gold advantage exploiting hooks against foes who can't see it coming

but in a 1v1 he likely will lose all of this and if the enemy picks either a ranged/someone with an escape..or well meepo being one of the big offenders because while he is technically weak all he has to do is survive until 3 and farm other lanes/the jungle to massively outlevel pudge making it safe to just let #1 get hooked and everyone jump in and beat fatty down

Guys I meant pudge vs pudge... XD

ah well that changes everything, i don't see urn being very useful in a fat fight because you either win or lose the fight..maybe a blink dagger would mean alot because you could quickly blink in rot and ult him before he could respond (or likely he would throw his own rot on in an oh crap moment and you'd still be ulting him)

i'd say heart if you could manage to get enough gold, and force staff because you could throw him away and heal up quit a bit before there was a re-engage

Wow I never thought of blink, thanks bro!

What I learned in 1v1 is to IMPROVISE. Often times I would lose (aka: throw away my advantage) because enemy had 100 more HP than me, while I'm playing super greedy

In pudge vs pudge it matters who has the most HP (and skills ofc). If you get the first blood I would get 1 point into the flesh heap for the magic resistance and bit of strength

Also something like a force staff would help push yourself away from the enemy pudge, possibly surviving if hooked
