How Clockwerk and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clockwerk and Io win 48.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,578 matches.
Using Hookshot for a long-range initiation often breaks the Tether link, leaving Clockwerk to fight alone inside his Power Cogs. This forces Io to reposition manually to provide support with Overcharge, which can be too slow to save Clockwerk or secure the kill. The pairing relies more on setting up ganks with Relocate, where Clockwerk can provide the instant lockdown needed for the combo to work. However, the fundamental awkwardness around Clockwerk's primary teamfight spell means they don't always function well together. The success of the lane often comes down to whether they can coordinate with Io’s ultimate, as their moment-to-moment interaction during fights can feel disconnected.
