Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sand King wins the Batrider vs Sand King matchup: Sand King beats Batrider in 58.04% of 908 ranked matches.
Getting a clean Lasso on Sand King is tricky. He can often escape with Burrowstrike or wait out the initial aggression inside his Sand Storm. However, a good Batrider can stack Sticky Napalm before Sand King can hide, making him vulnerable even while invisible. The matchup really hinges on initiation. If Batrider gets the pull, Sand King is isolated and dies. If Sand King finds Batrider with a good Burrowstrike into Epicenter, Batrider is too fragile to survive. Both heroes have the tools to counter the other's primary plan, making fights between them very dependent on reflexes and who makes the first mistake.
