Clinkz + Invoker

Why this works

Pairing Invoker's control with Clinkz's burst damage seems simple, but their kits can pull in different directions. Invoker's big teamfight spells, like Tornado or Deafening Blast, often set up for magical area damage. Clinkz needs a single target held in place to unload his physical attacks. While a Cold Snap is excellent for this, it's one of many tools Invoker has. He might be more focused on a big Meteor or draining mana with EMP, neither of which gives Clinkz the specific lockdown he needs to get a kill.

Across a match, this means their coordination can feel clunky. Post-laning, they often drift apart. Clinkz roams looking for solo pickoffs from invisibility, while Invoker is more concerned with controlling space or farming his next item. When they do fight together, their ideal plays rarely align perfectly. Invoker might set up multiple heroes, but Clinkz can only attack one. Their strengths don't consistently amplify each other, so the pairing can feel like two powerful soloists who happen to be on the same team.
