How Clinkz and Earthshaker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clinkz and Earthshaker win 52.25% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 8,957 matches.
Controlling the map with this pair can feel disjointed. Clinkz is built to be a solo hunter, farming deep in enemy territory from the safety of invisibility and forcing reactions. Earthshaker, on the other hand, wants to find a perfect multi-hero setup for his team to crash into. This often means Clinkz is out of position when a big Echo Slam happens, or Earthshaker is stuck defending a tower while Clinkz is on the other side of the map. Their game plans don't really overlap, so they rarely create pressure together or accelerate each other's farm, leading to a pretty standard game.
When they do connect, the combo is straightforward. Earthshaker's Fissure provides a long-duration stun for Clinkz to break invisibility and unload damage with Burning Barrage. The issue is that this is a very generic setup. It doesn't leverage Earthshaker's teamfight strength, and Clinkz can work with almost any stun. Because one hero wants to find solo kills and the other wants to fight the entire enemy team, their kits rarely line up in a way that creates a meaningful advantage beyond a simple pickoff.
