Dota 2's Pudge has become the first character in the MOBA's history to be played in more than a billion matches, making the portly butcher the game's most popular character by about 300 million matches.

As tracked by the website Dotabuff, Pudge had been played in 1,000,059,649 Dota 2 matches at the time of writing, with a Pick Rate of 33.03%.

This puts him substantially ahead of the second-most popular character, Phantom Assassin, who has a measly 704,021,392 matches played by comparison, and a pick rate of just 23.25%.

Inspired by Diablo 1's Butcher boss, Pudge has been around as long as Dota has, and has been Dota 2's most popular character as far back as 2016.

Pudge combines an active hooking ability that allows him to pull other players toward him,  and passive traits that give him health and damage buffs with every enemy he kills.
