Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka wins the Kunkka vs Monkey King matchup: Kunkka beats Monkey King in 57.47% of 435 ranked matches.
Casting Wukong's Command into the enemy team is Monkey King's biggest moment, but Kunkka has all the tools to ruin it. A well-placed Torrent or Ghostship can stun Monkey King and his entire circle of soldiers, completely neutralizing his ultimate. Outside of that, Kunkka's Tidebringer cleaves through the illusions with ease. Monkey King’s high mobility from Tree Dance is also kept in check by X Marks the Spot, which guarantees he can't escape after a failed initiation and gets pulled right back into the fight. Kunkka simply has a direct answer for every major part of Monkey King's kit.
This dynamic forces Monkey King to play on the back foot for the whole game. He can't reliably start fights with his ultimate if Kunkka is present, so he has to wait for cooldowns or find an isolated pick-off. Kunkka, on the other hand, doesn't need to change his game plan at all. His normal teamfight combo naturally disrupts Monkey King. This often forces the Monkey King player to either buy items specifically to survive Kunkka's burst, delaying his own impact, or risk being a non-factor in any teamfight where Kunkka is alive and has his spells ready.
