How this matchup plays

Struggling to make initiations stick can slow down a team's whole game plan. Clockwerk wants to jump a single target and isolate them, but Grimstroke has several ways to punish this. A well-timed Phantom's Embrace can latch onto Clockwerk inside his own Cogs, silencing his Battery Assault and turning his kill attempt into a self-stun. Soulbind can also complicate his life by linking his target to another hero, disrupting the one-on-one he needs to secure a pickoff. While Clockwerk can still find success by bursting Grimstroke himself, these defensive tools are often enough to turn a favorable fight into a losing one.
