Pushing high ground or taking Roshan with Enigma gets a lot riskier when a Sand King is on the enemy team. It mostly comes down to his ability to interrupt Black Hole. Burrowstrike is a very reliable, long-range stun that can instantly cancel the channel from a safe position, often before your team can react. This forces the Enigma to either try and catch Sand King first or to rush a Black King Bar. Committing to a BKB often means delaying other key items and makes positioning more predictable. The constant threat of that instant cancel from the fog is often enough to disrupt Enigma’s whole game plan, giving Sand King's team the openings they need.
