How do you play Clock? I really like the idea of the hero but every time I play him I do terribly. I think my strengths while playing the hero are that I am pretty good at using my nuke globally to help other lanes and ganks, and using my ultimate to set up kills of my own, but I find myself to be completely garbage at everything else.

I am terrible at using cogs properly, I often just wind up getting myself killed because I use it improperly. I also have no idea what good items are for him, or what is good situationally on him.
I'm also not really clear what my role should be in a lot of games, normally i try to play as a beefy initiator, but sometimes I feel unsure if that's the right way to play him, and maybe I should take a more supportive role.

Halp? Advice?

nah, dont listen to them, there are 2 ways of playing cog now: traditional and post 6.75

Traditional you go maxing rocket, rune control, map control with rocket vision. Basicly Rocket -> Battery -> cog but get 1 level of cog around lv 2 or 4. Farm until urn+tranquil, level 6 start ganking people, initiate with rocket, after 2-3 rocket on target-> hook him -> gangbang if you have a teammate. Otherwise keep farming until eul. Combo is trap-> battery -> eul -> free battery dmg. Eul also let you set up cog and escape and movement etc, pretty much perfect item on clock. Late game get blade mail/hood/heart/shiva etc... Your main role entering late game is split pushing using rocket and be annoying with the rest of your skill set.

NEW CLOCK BUILD: max out cog-> battery, fuck rocket. You go support. Go safe lane and protect carry. You approach enemy at a certain range and turn on cog-> they ran out of mana+ HP, at level 1 it cost 50 mana and 15 sec cooldown(less than rocket) and you dont have to worry about pushing lane. Build tanky, get mek ward etc and pretty much be VS 2.0 for the other team to rape your ass so your carries could get kills.

I don't know NB I think you're still in 2009 land when you needed heroes to babysit carries

Babysiting may become more prominent - with the buffs to ganking and nerfs to elusive carries like morph and AM, we may see more alch/PL/SF etc who need to be babysat in order to pay off vs ganking.
