How this matchup plays

Seeing Lich on the other team makes picking Monkey King a serious gamble. The main problem is how easily Lich dismantles Wukong's Command. A single cast of Sinister Gaze can force Monkey King to walk out of his own ultimate, completely wasting his biggest teamfight spell. If Gaze isn't available, Lich can instead toss Chain Frost into the circle of soldiers, which guarantees a huge number of bounces that will almost certainly hit the real Monkey King repeatedly. Even outside of that ultimate interaction, Frost Shield makes it much harder to burst a target down, and the constant slow from Frost Blast keeps Monkey King from sticking to enemies long enough to build his Jingu Mastery stacks.
