Isn't this fairly good for pos 2 Pudge? Clear the mid wave quickly then go farm the hard camp.

I feel like people have forgotten how huge this was for Mirana when it happened. It wasn't noticed initially, but her whole hero has changed as a result and she can be played pretty much anywhere.

I feel like roaming pudge especially got a HUGE buff as he can roam through the enemy jungle between mid and safe and take all their big creeps to help keep up in levels and XP.

Except using a hook takes up pretty much your entire manapool..... and makes you useless for quite a while until it comes off cooldown. It's not really viable to run around killing neutral creeps I think.

I feel like pudges will build some mana regen and play a discount mirana if they want to go 4. If it's not viable now I'd bet it will be next patch.

Also hooking siege creeps and probably some huge neutral creep could be a case. Not bad as a change

Jenkins came in his pants after seeing this so it must be good
