How Morphling and Sand King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Morphling and Sand King win 47.95% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,265 matches.
Picking these two together can create a team with a split identity. Sand King's entire game plan revolves around finding a multi-hero Burrowstrike and a devastating Epicenter, setting the stage for a big teamfight. He wants to create chaos and apply area damage. Morphling, on the other hand, is a single-target assassin. He wants to find one vulnerable hero, stun them with Adaptive Strike, and burst them down before they can react. While Sand King's stun can obviously help set up a kill for Morphling, their ideal fights look very different. One hero is trying to start a brawl while the other is looking for a clean pickoff, which can lead to disconnected team play.
