Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan wins the Lycan vs Monkey King matchup: Lycan beats Monkey King in 60.00% of 105 ranked matches.
Picking one of these heroes into the other feels like a real gamble, as the winner is decided by positioning. Lycan can easily overwhelm a lone Monkey King by surrounding him with wolves, cutting off escape paths and making Tree Dance awkward to use. However, a good Wukong's Command completely turns this around, shredding both Lycan and his entire zoo if they try to run into it. This matchup doesn't come up often, so it's hard to be too confident in how it plays out. It truly feels like either hero could take over the game.
