Talk:Sand King

Earth Shaker article similarity
Sand King and Earthshaker are completely different heroes. They have different roles in games and their playstyles are incomparable.

 * We will probably clear out the summaries from reddit at a later date - replace them with original content, so I wouldn't worry about it. If you want to remove it and re-write it now, feel free. RJackson 02:32, 13 September 2011 (CDT)
 * Especially with DOTA2 still not releasing till OCT. Ssmeek 02:45, 13 September 2011 (CDT)

That section is a total mess. Anyone willing to clean it up? --SirIronclad 08:25, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

I got the rewrite
I've been maining Sand King for a while now (414 matches, 52.2% win rate). I'm not perfect, but I think I know enough to make some improvements to the article. I'll make changes here and there, but I'll update as I go in case someone wants to help out. -- Formic .Sapien  01:51, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Mistake?
I'm a new player, so I might be wrong about this, but under Tips, it says:

"Sand King can be played as an early game jungler by stacking the neutral camps and killing them off with Sand Storm. However, it is practical to jungle from level 3 onwards, as Sand Storm is much more powerful at level 2."

Earlier today however, I found that this doesn't work. Activating Sand Storm does shield Sand King from damage, but the jungle creeps don't react at all and become passive. They don't attack Sand King, but neither do they take damage from Sand Storm. The secret shop isn't 'activated' either. 109.130.23.28 23:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Burrowstrike and Linken's Sphere
I don't want to make changes by myself but I think there's a mistake in the "Burrowstrike" section about how it works with Linken's Sphere. It has the same words as Lion's (Blocked upon impact by everyone within range of the spikes) but it's not how it works on Sand King's Burrowstrike. In this case, Linken's Sphere will activate if casted directly on target but WILL NOT activate by everyone within range. I know it because Sand King is one of my main heroes and when playing with heroes carrying Linken's Sphere, the way to stun them is by targeting ground and not directly. So, maybe, we can change these words for: Blocked if targeted directly. Enemies within the range not targeted will not be blocked. FeliasSnape 09:56, October 14 2016 (CDT)


 * No, it does be blocked upon impact by everyone within range of the spikes. --Elite stay (talk) 15:08, 14 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Targeting unit, targeting ground. In both cases, both blocked it.  Bu3ny  (talk) 15:11, 14 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the quick asnwer; I was completely sure it was the other way, that Burrow wouldn't activate Linken of targets in range... Thanks for the screenshots. FeliasSnape 10:22, October 14 2016 (CDT)
