Is it cuz clock has high hp initially and you just farm through it? normally zeus's that do that have clarity potions to keep their mana up. Rocket flare when they clarity to stop them from having alot of mana and they can only spam for so long. eventually youll have a bottle/hood and will naturally out regen the minor spam he does. First few levels you just have to either dodge it on top of ramp of eat tangoes when you reach mid range life. | ||

I agree that against an SF of your caliber I may not be able to do what I so freely said, but you can't make damage appear out of thin air. And SF's of your caliber aren't just dime a dozen. SF can't even fake out clock because clock just knows, 'he can't do anything yet'. Clock will have the early CS control. I run him a lot. And I feel very confident vs most solos especially zeus's / sf's. :D An SF at your CW skilllevel should never be outfarmed at all. In fact you should be struggling to get any CS apart from those rockets can grant you. But you mostly play scrubs and highlevel teams rarely use SF anyway  | ||

Most of that is pre 6 and thats what he is refering it to. Weve played against strong sf's in clan wars before, they farm really well, but clockwerk has the ability to stop his farming before he has decent damage. | ||

Once clock hits 6 only way sf will gank is through teleports or running behind his tower, because running straight for runes is a definite hook -> kill from clock (as long as he hits him correctly =P). The only way sf can really keep clock from diving him is to hit his L3 razes on him right before 6 so clock has to back off and heal up. If clock stays at full life he can just dive any time past 6. Except SF doesn't need to keep him from diving him, if the CW is constantly threaten by playing close to the creep line, the SF can harass him, and make it hard to for CW to dive effectively. Yeah if the SF plays passive, the CW can and will dive him at will. Otherwise, he's going to telegraph that he's going to either dive or go offensive. Abuse runes how? It's not like the CW can will the runes to his location every time, a number of heroes would be a head if they can bottle abuse at the rate you're suggesting. It's still luck that the rune spawns where you are and there are a lot of runes before Hook becomes a factor. It's a tough lane yes, but its not auto win for either player, it's in favor of the CW sure, but not by that much. All in all if the SF calls for good defensive warding, it shouldn't be that hard. | ||

Well, I'll have to find out for sure myself. Can you upload a replay of this happening though? I'm curious to see how easily you dominate SFs. | ||

Any decent SF will average atleast 2,5 creeps killed per wave as soon as he hits lvl 2 raze (at lvl 3 or 4, depending on your preference) and then he's far ahead in CS from there. It's not like you can get a 20 CS advantage before he hits lvl 4 | ||

Most new players are put in the roles of support or semi-support heroes as Rhasta, Lion, Crystal Maiden and there's actually still alot to playing those heroes properly. Knowing where to Ward in what situation and which time of the game is really hard if you've never seen top replays or understood the logic behind it. | ||

Is it cuz clock has high hp initially and you just farm through it? arc lightning isn't shit for a high hp hero like clock. you're going to have your regen+bottle+boots and zeus is slow as balls. He's bad vs clockwerk, really bad. He will die before or at level 6 unless help comes. I can't really bring a replay heen but I'd just suggest you try it out vs a good team mate of yours. I have a tonne of reps but with all the new patches I can't look through the mass of clock reps to see which one was vs a good team and what not. If it helps at all I go rocket assault assault rocket assault ult because cogs don't really matter, I know how to not let creeps touch me when i'm getting a kill and the clockwerk farts of doom do the rest. | ||

That is true for most heroes solo-ing against SF...actually every player solo-ing against SF will abuse his crappy base damage at first. Hell people ran Sven solo back when SF was autopick or ban with the same concept here. I think Heen's stuck on how CW can gain such an advantage to the point where the SF can't overcome it later (like 2 or 3 waves later). I mean outside of some help from the side lanes, I don't see it either. But I feel like you guys are just emphasizing CW can work solo mid against a lot of solos which is true. | ||

(In which case there should have been a lane switch if it's a good baby sit lane). Can't have the carry getting 30+ cs by 5 minutes and rolling you. | ||
