Sandking had fallen off as an offlaner or position four in the previous patches. However, with recent buffs to his Sand Storm ability the hero is back in the meta. Sand Storm damage increase from level two onwards really made it easier for the hero to farm and deal damage to the enemy. It is a critical ability which enables Sand King to farm very fast, deal damage in an AOE and disengage from fights, making it an offensive and very reliable defensive ability. Apart from this Burrowstrike was also buffed, granting the ability significant cast range.

Items recommended on this hero are power treads and soul ring for mana if your lane is comfortable, otherwise tranquil boots if you need tons of regen. In general, Treads give tons of stats and health points, later in mid game a hood or a van Guard will gel really nicely. If you are really controlling the game a radiance will absolutely kill the game because your hero will be dealing with insane amounts of AOE damage to the opposing team.
