Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Treant Protector wins the Sand King vs Treant Protector matchup: Treant Protector beats Sand King in 50.07% of 2,195 ranked matches.
Catching an initiating Sand King with Overgrowth can stop his whole combo, rooting him in place right after a Burrowstrike. Treant Protector's Living Armor also gives his team a chance to survive the initial damage. However, Sand King can make it very hard for Treant to position for that counterplay. A defensive Sand Storm can cover a huge part of the fight, threatening to reveal Treant as he tries to move through the trees. The outcome really depends on who gets the drop on whom and who has better backup. Their core abilities tend to work at cross-purposes, which is also why they rarely make for a strong lane partnership.
