Why this works
Facing down a Batrider and Sand King can feel threatening, since both heroes love to initiate. The issue is that their ideal fights don't always align. Sand King wants to channel Epicenter and Burrowstrike into the enemy team to hit everyone. At the same time, Batrider wants to use Flaming Lasso to drag a key target away from their team. This can lead to awkward fights where the Lassoed hero is pulled out of Sand King's damage, or Sand King dives in alone while Batrider is busy isolating someone else. Their powerful ultimates can end up working at cross-purposes, making their combined impact less than the sum of its parts.
