Key strategic elements to consider when playing Pudge:

You can hook runes. Try to hook an enemy into your allies at the intial bounty rune.
Pudge has very high base damage and you can use it to get last hits and deny a lot of creeps.
Try to keep the creep equilibrium close to your tower, so you can hook enemy heroes under the tower.
Consider leveling up Meat Shield when you reach level two in lane versus heroes with a lot of damage over time abilities.
Meat Hook kills creeps instantly, except for ancients. Protect your tower by hooking the catapult.
You can heal up signicantly by Dismembering a high HP creep.
Find a partner and use Smokes to find pick offs.
Fight around vision so you can land your Hooks more easily.
