Rattletrap

So. New hero.

A 200dmg rocket that can be shot anywhere on the map. A stun/nuke that does 20 ministuns over 15 seconds and 400, 800, 1200, and 1600 magic dmg. A strange little spell called power cog. Hookshot ult like a reverse pudge--pulls him toward the target and stuns everything in the way for 1, 1.5, 2 sec stun. Decent gain on everything too.

A bit completely and absolutely overpowered, no? So the stun has a rather tiny AOE, still. Hook into the fray, stun, cog, and rocket to finish the rest off. Radiance + tanking item. Yes?

How have you guys been playing the little guy?

The only thing which is too strong is the ministun and his hp pool.
Last time I played him I had bot 2 bf ac dominator (longer ih game, one disc :/)

Nerf Invokers skill :)

1v1 this guy is imba but 2v1, 3v1 ? He is good at solo but worth nothing with team play. I would say Pudge = Clock, but no one plays Pudge in leagues, so why should they play Clock? Its fine guys :)

Oh I actually mostly play inhouse with a bunch of my friends or tda, not leagues. I suppose I'll wait until he's nerfed to really try him out. The ministun is ridiculous though. I wonder what the hell IceFrog was thinking.

Does his ministun stun 1 hero or all heroes near to him?

Eh? It's an AOE, no? Albeit a very tiny AOE with a rather annoyingly long cast time.

oh youre not talking about the same.

the ministun is one target with 80 magical damage (lvl 4) on one target as well.

the stun of his ultimate which is 2 sec lvl 3 has a tiny aoe. nothing worth mentioning imo >:

the ministun is really annoying and so is the cog and to mention that very very very long range rocket lol, these guy is a good initiator also a good ganker as well, he can jump to enemy heroes then cog and its so really annoying when you are near the cog it sucks mana and pushes you back then your teamates just come in and rape . items would be radiance bracerx2 treads then heart if you can avail.

Ahh, ok.

The stun of his ultimate is just everything in his path. His ult is less like hook and more like a blink with stun, really.

I always thought that Clock wasn't imba to be honest. If you manage to play as a team he actually isn't all that hard to defeat. The mini stun really only works when you have as few targets as possible also. So if you play the same way you would if pudge was on the other team you should be fine

from the article it appears that he is a preferred league hero. So are we now going to see rattletrap pros? :P

i see no place to use rattletrap in competitive play.
He's 1v1 oriented hero (and ganking of course) but the problem is he's not so useful on big war

Clockwerk is all about game control. If you put him in the middle, any time any 1 hero goes to get a rune you can hook him with his disturbingly large hook range and get a free kill. Depending on if the hero has leap/blink etc. Clock is excellent for early-mid game and getting complete game control. With his high HP he also can tower dive to an extent which makes him extra useful for early game. Cogs work as excellent blockades as well. The early game advantage a good clockwerk can cause will seal a game if you have some competent allies. He definitely loses power late game but can always be useful.
