How Clockwerk and Venomancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clockwerk and Venomancer win 50.21% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 235 matches.
Securing objectives and map control with this lineup often feels stalled and inefficient. The core problem is a clash in damage timing. Clockwerk excels at creating a short window for a kill by trapping a target with Hookshot and Power Cogs. He needs immediate, high-impact follow-up damage to make it count. Venomancer provides the exact opposite: his kit, including Poison Nova, deals its damage slowly over a long duration. This means after Clockwerk commits, the target is often still alive inside the cogs. The lack of burst synergy makes it difficult to convert successful initiations into a numbers advantage.
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.
