How Sand King and Treant Protector perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Sand King and Treant Protector win 48.62% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,032 matches.
Drafting both Sand King and Treant Protector often forces the rest of your team to focus heavily on damage. Both heroes want to be the primary initiator with a big, area-of-effect ultimate, creating some redundancy. Setting up Epicenter with a full Overgrowth can feel powerful, but it means you've committed both major teamfight spells for a single moment of control. If the enemy survives the initial burst, your team is left with few tools for the rest of the fight. They also tend to occupy similar roles and farm priorities, with both heroes wanting a Blink Dagger to properly start fights, which can slow down the team's overall tempo.
