How Sand King and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sand King and Timbersaw win 39.10% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 133 matches.
Figuring out the lanes with both Sand King and Timbersaw can be the first sign of trouble. They are at their best as space-creating offlaners who need levels and some early farm to function. Putting them on the same team forces one into a less effective role, usually a Sand King who then struggles to get a timely Blink Dagger. In fights, their kits don't have special chemistry. Burrowstrike is a fine stun, but Timbersaw is more focused on zipping around with Timber Chain than sitting still to benefit. They end up competing for the same space, both wanting to be a durable front-liner doing area damage, but without amplifying each other's threat.
