How Clinkz and Puck perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clinkz and Puck win 45.55% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,842 matches.
Puck's Dream Coil gathers enemies for a teamfight, which is often the opposite of what Clinkz wants. Clinkz excels at assassinating a single hero from the shadows, and he needs hard lockdown to guarantee the kill. A Dream Coil creates a messy brawl where targets can still use defensive spells and turn on him while he channels Burning Barrage. Both heroes are evasive, high-damage cores that need someone else to provide initiation and control. Since neither offers what the other is missing, their game plans end up clashing instead of complementing each other, leaving the team without a clear focus.
