Clockwerk Counters (7.41e)

Clockwerk is a pickoff initiator whose Hookshot latches onto a hero from across the map, Power Cogs trap them, and Battery Assault burns them down. He's strong into immobile heroes he isolates: Timbersaw, Elder Titan and Templar Assassin get hooked and caged. Clockwerk is countered by tanks, illusions, and scalers a single pick can't kill: Wraith King, Phantom Lancer and Meepo out-body or out-tank him, while Spectre out-scales. Draft tip: Clockwerk is a premier initiator/pickoff into squishy drafts; he's weaker into tanky, illusion, and hard-carry line-ups that survive his isolation combo.

In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Clockwerk hardest are Night Stalker, Dazzle and Ancient Apparition — Clockwerk wins only 37.1%, 38.5% and 40.3% of ranked matches against them.
