Top Five Dota 2 Sets for Pudge That You Can Purchase

The Butcher more commonly known as Pudge is undoubtedly Dota 2 community’s favorite hero. Nothing beats the satisfaction of landing a hook on a foe and dismembering the enemy while suffocating them with rot.

Growing stronger with each kill, Pudge grows in power over time as his stacks of Flesh Heap start growing in numbers. The very concept of the character instills fun into the game and other titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) have also taken inspiration from the hero in the form of Franco.

While Pudge is a rather common hero of choice, throwing in some cosmetics for the hero can make your Pudge stand out from that of others.
