How Clockwerk and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clockwerk and Troll Warlord win 51.21% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,445 matches.
Setting up a cage fight with Power Cogs seems like a free kill for Troll Warlord, but it's not that simple. In a perfect scenario, Clockwerk's Hookshot initiation and Cogs provide a stationary target for Troll to build Fervor stacks on. The problem is execution. Troll has to be in the right place at the right time to capitalize. More importantly, if Troll Warlord uses Battle Trance, he loses control and might attack a different hero who happens to be closer, completely ignoring Clockwerk's setup. The Cogs can also accidentally body-block Troll. This combo relies on a lot of things going right to secure a kill, making it an unreliable way to win a fight.
