Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Invoker wins the Invoker vs Monkey King matchup: Invoker beats Monkey King in 58.09% of 1,341 ranked matches.
Picking Monkey King into an enemy Invoker is a tough choice to justify. So many of Invoker's spells feel designed to counter Monkey King's entire kit. A single Tornado will instantly end Wukong's Command, completely negating his biggest teamfight spell. Even if he forgoes his ultimate and tries to fight normally, getting Jingu Mastery stacks is a nightmare. Cold Snap repeatedly stuns him as he tries to land his four hits, and a Deafening Blast can disarm him or knock him away. Invoker has the perfect tools to shut down everything MK wants to do.
This dynamic forces the Monkey King player to constantly second-guess their aggression. You can't commit Wukong's Command until you see Tornado get used on someone else, which may never happen. You have to bait out control spells before you can safely fight anyone. Meanwhile, the Invoker can hold his spells, knowing he has a direct answer to their carry. It creates the same kind of conflict you see when they're on the same team; Invoker's spells are so good at disrupting Monkey King's ultimate that they work against him whether he's an enemy or an ally.
