Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Storm Spirit wins the Monkey King vs Storm Spirit matchup: Storm Spirit beats Monkey King in 50.19% of 538 ranked matches.
It might seem like Wukong's Command should trap and kill a hero like Storm Spirit, but the reality is much different. A single use of Ball Lightning lets Storm escape the ring instantly, wasting Monkey King's biggest spell. This mobility advantage defines the matchup. If Monkey King tries to Tree Dance to safety, Storm can follow and finish him off. If Monkey King commits to a fight, Storm can pull him in with Electric Vortex and zip away if he gets low on health. While Monkey King can sometimes catch Storm with a good Boundless Strike, Storm Spirit usually gets to dictate when and where the fight happens, giving him a consistent upper hand.
