Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Axe wins the Axe vs Clockwerk matchup: Axe beats Clockwerk in 53.04% of 971 ranked matches.
Picking Clockwerk into an Axe often forces you to play against your hero's strengths. The whole plan to isolate a target with Power Cogs and lock them down with Battery Assault completely backfires. Each hit from Battery Assault gives Axe another chance to spin with Counter Helix, often shredding Clockwerk inside his own trap before he can get away. Initiating on Axe himself is a huge mistake, as he wants to be in the middle of your team. If Clockwerk goes on a different target, Axe is one of the best heroes to counter-initiate with a Blink and Berserker's Call, turning a pickoff into a lost teamfight.
