Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ember Spirit wins the Ember Spirit vs Monkey King matchup: Ember Spirit beats Monkey King in 53.18% of 724 ranked matches.
Trading hits in the mid lane feels like a constant test of cooldowns. Monkey King is always looking to land a few attacks to build up Jingu Mastery, which lets him completely dominate a trade. A good Ember Spirit, however, can use Sleight of Fist to dodge Boundless Strike and avoid getting locked down. Ember's Flame Guard can absorb a lot of harassment, but it won't hold up if he gets caught without an escape. Later, Ember's map mobility with Fire Remnant makes him very slippery, but Monkey King's ultimate can trap and kill him if he isn't careful. It all comes down to who baits out the other's key spells first.
