SUCCESS IS NOT GUARANTEED; IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW YOU PLAY A CHARACTER, AND FOR SOME PEOPLE, IF A CHARACTER IS JUST NOT FOR YOU, IT WON'T WORK OUT NO MATTER WHAT. IF YOU'RE AVERAGE WITH CLINKZ AND WANNA PWN, THEN FOLLOW THE GUIDE, OTHERWISE RESULTS MAY VARY
I don't promise that this is the best guide out there, and it's my first time writing one, but I hope you'll find something useful here anyway.
*WORKING ON TANKIER BUT VERY EFFECTIVE CLINKZ BUILD. BOOKMARK FOR UPDATES*
We invest in 
Searing Arrows first because it makes getting those Last Hits a lot easier at the beginning, and it's damage is quite significant that harassing players at the beginning of the game is EXTREMELY effective, honestly, if you see the enemy character just throw this arrow at him, it usually takes about an 8th or so of his health, and after 3-4 hits he'll be very worried and probably just go back tower-hugging. SERIOUSLY.
We also need to make sure 
Wind Walk is there, it's our only escape route, in later levels it provides such a huge travel boost it's sort of funny, you can zip across the entire map in about 20 seconds. This is not extremely important to build early, just one point, as everyone's sort of passive and doesn't have items that reveal stealthed units, so if things get tough just activate it and they can't really do anything to you, later on with AoE spells, you best also follow up on that with a mega fast sprint outta there. This skill is also useful for catching up to enemy heroes running away from a battle with half or less health.
General
OK, everything up to now was not as important as this, because how you play the character makes all the difference. For the first couple of levels, while things are still very slow, just farm creeps for gold and experience, and harass enemy players whenever you can.
Later on, co-ordinate with your team because you can travel across the map EXTREMELY quickly, so if anyone needs assistance, chances are you'll be there first. I spend most of my time just pushing lanes, I usually go top lane first, then when a tower is down, I help someone push any other lane.
Late-game, just, whatever, whatever your heart tells you. You're OP and can take on anyone, but stay away from groups, and stay far enough at the back in team fights so no one targets you, but close enough to unleash your hell fury.
KILLING ENEMIES
So, killing enemies is EXTREMELY easy with my build, I mean, seriously, if there's no one to help the guy a kill is guaranteed, I promise. Make sure you alt+w so that Searing Arrows is autocast. Then find some creep with the highest max HP and use your ultimate on him. Then walk up to them and hope they don't have 
Gem of True Sight, if you do this tactic often smart players will get it so be weary, and target them so they lose it, as you can be seen by the whole team while in that persons vicinity. Then, active the Orchid Malevolence so they can't silence, stun, or teleport away. Then, activate Strafe and Mask of Madness simultaneously and laugh.
PUSHING LANES/DESTROYING BUILDINGS
Usually, when the time comes to just go through the tower, follow almost the same guide as killing enemy heroes, kill all the enemy creeps, if you have 4/5 creeps remaining, activate Strafe and Mask of Madness and spam Searing Arrows, this usually almost destroys the tower, and if you've creeps remaining by the end of your Attack Speed combo, keep spamming Searing Arrows and retreat in time, if enemy creeps come around stay there until your creeps are almost dead, or the tower is targeting you.
