How Arc Warden and Sand King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Sand King win 48.46% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,748 matches.
Running both these heroes can create tension over the game's pace and resources. Arc Warden needs significant farm to come online, using his Tempest Double to occupy multiple areas of the map. Sand King also needs farm for his core initiation items, but he wants to use that timing to immediately force fights with Burrowstrike. This can lead to awkward engagements where Sand King goes in, but the main Arc Warden is too far away to follow up. While the Double can join a gank with Flux, the team often lacks the full weight of its carry for crucial objectives, making their game plans feel disconnected and pulling in different directions.
