How Kez and Clockwerk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kez and Clockwerk win 42.02% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 238 matches.
Catching a target with Hookshot and Cogs creates a very specific kill window that Kez struggles to capitalize on. As a duelist, Kez excels when he can leverage his stance-swapping and parries over a longer fight, not in delivering immediate, high-impact burst. Clockwerk's entire initiation is about locking one hero down for a few seconds, but Kez can't output enough damage in that time. This fundamental mismatch in tempo means that ganks often fall flat, leaving the trapped target able to escape. Both heroes want to isolate a single enemy, but their methods are so different that they end up working against each other.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
