Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pudge wins the Monkey King vs Pudge matchup: Pudge beats Monkey King in 55.76% of 20,815 ranked matches.
Playing from the trees becomes a huge liability against a Pudge. A single Meat Hook can pull Monkey King to the ground, completely negating his mobility and setting him up for an easy kill with Rot and Dismember. Pudge's natural tankiness from Flesh Heap also makes it difficult for Monkey King to build up Jingu Mastery stacks for a quick burst kill. Pudge can usually absorb the initial damage and turn the fight with his own lockdown, preventing Monkey King from getting his combo off and escaping.
This pressure dictates the pace of the game. Monkey King is forced to play far more defensively, slowing down his farm and limiting his ability to scout or split-push. A well-timed hook from Pudge can easily catch Monkey King and kill him before he can even react with Wukong's Command. To succeed, Monkey King needs superior vision and has to bait out Pudge's key spells before committing to a fight. Pudge, on the other hand, constantly threatens to secure a pickoff that blows the game wide open.
