How Alchemist and Clockwerk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Clockwerk win 47.98% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,488 matches.
Getting caught by a Clockwerk Hookshot can be a death sentence when Alchemist is on the map. Clockwerk provides more than enough lockdown with Power Cogs and Battery Assault for Alchemist to get a fully charged Unstable Concoction to land. With the target trapped, the combination of Acid Spray and continued damage makes it very difficult for anyone to survive. This gank setup is potent and can secure crucial kills, especially if the two can coordinate an early rotation.
The core issue is that these two heroes operate on different timelines. Clockwerk wants to be aggressive across the map as soon as he gets his ultimate, creating pressure and forcing fights. Alchemist's main goal is to farm with Greevil's Greed and avoid conflict until he has a massive item advantage. This means Alchemist is often not in a position to follow up on Clockwerk's initiations. Forcing Alchemist to join these early fights can severely slow down his farm, defeating the purpose of picking him. The duo's success depends entirely on finding a few key moments to connect without compromising their fundamentally different game plans.
