How Meepo and Sand King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Meepo and Sand King win 48.51% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 101 matches.
Finding an initiator to set up a Meepo can feel like a gamble, but Sand King provides a solid foundation. A well-placed Burrowstrike gives Meepo the perfect window to blink in with all his clones and start a chain of Poofs on a stationary target. This stun is also often enough time for Meepo to land his own Earthbinds, extending the lockdown and preventing escapes. While both heroes require a bit of farm to get online, Sand King's early magic damage from Epicenter and Sand Storm also helps create space and complements Meepo's heavy physical output as they try to close out the game.
