How Clockwerk and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clockwerk and Tidehunter win 46.92% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,244 matches.
Seeing two big initiators on one team can feel like a guaranteed win, but it's not that simple. Clockwerk can use Hookshot to find a target, and Power Cogs can create a perfect setup for Tidehunter to land a Ravage on anyone trying to help. The friction is that their kits have different goals. Clockwerk wants to start a fight by picking off one hero from long range, while Tidehunter is at his best when hitting a clump of enemies. If their timing is off, one of them often ends up using a major ultimate on a suboptimal fight.
Across a game, this means their success depends heavily on coordination. A good Ravage from Tidehunter can set up an easy kill for Clockwerk, but that's not always how it goes. More often, Clockwerk will try for a long-range pickoff, and Tidehunter simply can't move fast enough to get into position to follow up with his own spells. This forces the team to either all-in on one hero far from the rest of the fight or leave Clockwerk to fend for himself after he dives in.
