Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ringmaster wins the Ringmaster vs Sand King matchup: Ringmaster beats Sand King in 50.12% of 4,018 ranked matches.
Fighting for control of the map often feels like a stalemate between these two. Ringmaster has the perfect tools to disrupt Sand King’s teamfight presence, with a hypnotic pull that can stop a channeled Epicenter cold and ruin the initiation. On the other side, Sand King is one of the more slippery heroes in the game. He can easily use Burrowstrike to jump over Ringmaster’s traps or hide inside Sand Storm to dodge a spell and reset. This creates a game of cat-and-mouse where each can foil the other’s plan, but neither can consistently dominate. They tend to get in each other's way, which is also why they often struggle on the same team.
