Why this works
Struggling to convert initiations into map control is common for this lane. The main problem is that Clockwerk and Shadow Demon's spells can actively work against each other during a gank. Clockwerk wants to Hookshot in and apply immediate, sustained damage with Battery Assault inside his Cogs. Shadow Demon's primary setup spell, Disruption, banishes that same target, making them immune and letting them reposition after. This timing conflict can easily waste Clockwerk's long cooldown and let a key enemy escape. While Disruption can be used defensively to save Clockwerk, the offensive side of the combination often feels clumsy and a step behind.
