How Omniknight and Sand King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Omniknight and Sand King win 49.98% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,012 matches.
Putting Heavenly Grace on a Sand King can make his Epicenter channel difficult to cancel, and Guardian Angel can keep him alive inside the fight. This combo gives Sand King a much safer initiation. The problem is what happens after the jump. If the initial Burrowstrike and Epicenter combo doesn't secure key kills, the draft often finds itself short on stuns and control. Omniknight provides purely defensive support, so if the enemy team can survive Sand King's initial assault, they can often reposition and kite both heroes. It creates a very all-in strategy that either works decisively or fails completely, leaving little room for a middle ground.
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.
