Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Abaddon wins the Abaddon vs Sand King matchup: Abaddon beats Sand King in 51.50% of 8,020 ranked matches.
Struggling to build momentum can be a problem for Sand King in this matchup. His game plan often relies on finding pickoffs with Burrowstrike to create space, but Abaddon can disrupt that. A quick cast of Aphotic Shield removes the stun from Sand King's initiation, allowing the target to survive and walk away. This makes it harder to land a full-damage Epicenter or for his team to follow up. Trying to go on Abaddon himself is also usually a waste of cooldowns due to Borrowed Time. While a well-placed Epicenter can still be impactful, Sand King loses much of his reliability, slowing his team's tempo down.
