How Clockwerk and Sand King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clockwerk and Sand King win 43.35% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,670 matches.
Trying to follow up on a Hookshot can be surprisingly difficult for Sand King. The main problem is Power Cogs, which isolates Clockwerk's target but also creates a physical barrier. This often blocks Sand King's Burrowstrike or forces him to use his Epicenter from a worse position, potentially getting pushed out himself. Both heroes also want to fill a similar role as the primary initiator who jumps in first to start a fight. This role overlap can lead to drafts that feel redundant, lacking the steady damage or backline protection needed after the initial chaos. While they can coordinate, their kits don't naturally chain together, making their joint teamfight impact less reliable.
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.
