During a Dota 2 game, Pudge’s Stench may start to weaken

In Dota 2, there has been an interesting bug related to the hero Pudge. Specifically, the bug affects his ability, Rot. When this bug occurs during a match, it significantly reduces the damage dealt by the Rot ability over time. Normally, Rot deals damage at intervals of 0.2 seconds. However, when the bug triggers, these intervals can increase to as much as 0.233 seconds.

At first glance, this might not seem like a major issue, but it can have a notable impact. According to calculations, players may end up dealing approximately 14% less damage due to this bug. This reduction in damage could affect the outcome of a match. Interestingly, players have even pinpointed when this issue tends to occur: at 0:13, 2:10, 4:14, and 31:00 game time.

It’s worth noting that Pudge has had his fair share of problems in the past, including issues related to his appearance, but those were quickly addressed by the developers.
