How Grimstroke and Clockwerk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Grimstroke and Clockwerk win 48.49% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,514 matches.
Struggling to build an early lead with this duo often comes down to a core mechanical conflict. While Grimstroke can add a lot of damage and control to Clockwerk's initiation with Ink Swell, their ultimates tend to work at cross-purposes. Clockwerk excels at using Hookshot and Power Cogs to catch and isolate a single, high-priority target away from their team. This makes it impossible for Grimstroke to land a good Soulbind, which requires two enemy heroes to be close together. Because the ideal Clockwerk gank prevents the ideal Grimstroke ultimate, the pair often has less teamfight impact than you'd expect, leading to drawn-out games.
