How Clinkz and Keeper of the Light perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clinkz and Keeper of the Light win 51.27% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,772 matches.
Getting caught out by Solar Bind feels miserable, as the powerful slow makes it nearly impossible to escape. This gives Clinkz a very easy target for his high-damage arrows, and he can stay active on the map for longer thanks to the mana sustain from Chakra Magic. However, a core part of Solar Bind is its magic damage amplification, which does almost nothing for a physical damage dealer like Clinkz. The setup relies entirely on the slow, leaving a lot of the spell's potential on the table and keeping the pairing from being truly oppressive.
The success of this duo often hinges on the mid-game. If Keeper of the Light can help Clinkz find a few key pickoffs on isolated heroes, they can create a strong gold and experience lead. In later five-on-five fights, though, their plans can diverge. Clinkz will be looking for a solo kill on a support in the backline, while Keeper of the Light is probably positioned far away to safely channel a full Illuminate. Opponents can counter this by staying grouped, forcing the duo into a full teamfight where their specific interaction is much less effective.
