Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sand King wins the Sand King vs Timbersaw matchup: Sand King beats Timbersaw in 52.04% of 2,600 ranked matches.
Seeing Timbersaw's massive armor and regeneration can make him seem unkillable, but that's mostly against physical attacks. Sand King deals almost entirely in magic damage, which bypasses the benefit of Reactive Armor. A well-timed Burrowstrike can interrupt Timber Chain and hold Timbersaw in place for an Epicenter, which is often enough to force him out of a fight even without a kill. However, the advantage is minor because Timbersaw is incredibly mobile and can often build items to survive the initial burst. If Sand King's stun isn't perfectly timed or followed up on, Timbersaw can simply tank the damage and escape, keeping the interaction from becoming too one-sided.
