How Clockwerk and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clockwerk and Tusk win 44.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,660 matches.
Piling onto a hero Clockwerk has trapped in Power Cogs can be surprisingly awkward. Tusk is a melee brawler who wants to get in close, but the cogs often block him and other allies from easily following up on the initiation. While he can use Snowball to get inside, the larger issue is that both heroes often want to be the primary gap-closer for the team, leading to some redundancy. Tusk’s Ice Shards can also conflict with Cog positioning, creating more chaos than control. There's some utility in using Snowball to save a Clockwerk who has dived too deep with Hookshot, but generally they feel like they're stepping on each other's toes.
