How Leshrac and Sand King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Leshrac and Sand King win 49.18% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,277 matches.
Stacking stuns with Burrowstrike and Split Earth is a reliable way to start a fight, but the damage that follows can be an issue. Both Leshrac and Sand King rely almost entirely on magical area-of-effect damage to be effective. While Leshrac’s Diabolic Edict provides a separate damage source, the enemy team’s core defensive plan remains simple. Getting a Pipe of Insight or a few Glimmer Capes can blunt the impact of both heroes’ ultimates at the same time. This lack of damage diversity makes their combined output predictable and easier to itemize against than most pairings, often leaving them without the kill potential they need in mid-game teamfights.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
