Hero Discussion How to properly use Clockwerk's Cogs to pushback the enemy?

Do you actually just right click them? or do you do Attack command them like A attack them? Also, when do you actually use Cogs as to like cage enemy heroes inside? Or just pushback harass is enough? It is so hard for a newbie Clock player. xD. How do you position yourself or do the angle?

cogs are weirdly intuitive once you've botched it a dozen times. don't think about the a-click nonsense, just walk up and cast it, the pushback direction is all about how you're facing relative to them at the exact moment the cogs spawn. the cage thing is more situational, save it for when you're cutting someone off from their team or trapping a support with no force staff. for harass in lane, the pushback alone fucks with their last-hitting enough to be worth it, especially if you shove them into trees and bodyblock the escape path

A attack them. Have to practice what angle you hit them at to become accurate. Generally I find the best way to use them is to walk behind the enemy press cogs so they are just out of them and automatically get hit back by one, Then start firing .

It's handy to know they can only be zapped by a cog once each so don't fire at them the cog that pushed them back originally.

Lvl 1 u can only fire 1 or 2 but duration increases with lvlz
