Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sand King wins the Clockwerk vs Sand King matchup: Sand King beats Clockwerk in 51.70% of 2,207 ranked matches.
Picking an initiator like Sand King against Clockwerk is a calculated risk that hinges on who gets the first move. A successful Hookshot is a death sentence for Sand King, as Power Cogs completely deny his ability to Burrowstrike away. He's trapped eating Battery Assault damage and is easily focused down. The tables turn if Sand King finds Clockwerk first, though. A preemptive Burrowstrike can cancel Clockwerk’s initiation, and a full Epicenter channel can catch him out. This direct opposition for the same initiator role is why the matchup is so volatile, and it also explains why they tend to get in each other’s way when played on the same side.
