How Clockwerk and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clockwerk and Riki win 50.02% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,341 matches.
Picking Clockwerk alongside Riki often comes from a desire to chain-lockdown a single target. The classic Hookshot into Cogs can create a perfect cage for Riki to use Smoke Screen and secure a kill. This works well when catching heroes out of position. The issue is that both heroes invest a lot into this single-target burst, which can feel like overkill. Against a five-manning team, this gank potential becomes much harder to execute. Riki is already a self-sufficient hunter, and while Clockwerk's setup is helpful, it doesn't fundamentally change what either hero needs to do, leading to fairly average results when they are paired.
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.
