How Hoodwink and Clockwerk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Hoodwink and Clockwerk win 44.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,927 matches.
Setting up a Bushwhack stun after a Clockwerk initiation can be awkward. His Power Cogs often destroys the exact trees Hoodwink needs to land her spell. Even if a tree survives the initial Cogs placement, the knockback can push the target out of the Bushwhack's trigger radius before it activates. This makes their kill combo feel unreliable outside of very specific positioning, where Clockwerk can trap someone right next to a tree without breaking it. The two abilities actively work against each other in most common scenarios.
Across the game, both heroes want to play for pickoffs, but they can struggle to scale that pressure. Their single-target focus is decent early, but they lack the combined tools to transition into winning big teamfights later on. They often end up playing for separate initiations rather than a clean combo. One hero waits for the other to find an opening, which can lead to a slower pace than either Clockwerk or Hoodwink typically prefers, and their overall impact feels disjointed.
