Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Templar Assassin wins the Monkey King vs Templar Assassin matchup: Templar Assassin beats Monkey King in 50.42% of 355 ranked matches.
Trying to build up Jingu Mastery stacks on Templar Assassin feels impossible. Her Refraction simply absorbs the rapid, low-damage hits, completely shutting down Monkey King's primary laning tool and making trades feel one-sided. She can stand her ground and fight back while he gets nothing for his efforts. This entire relationship flips, however, when Wukong's Command is available. The swarm of quick attacks from the soldiers instantly burns through all Refraction charges, leaving Templar Assassin helpless inside the ultimate.
The game becomes a contest of cooldowns and initiation. Templar Assassin will often win the early lane and then look to snowball by hunting isolated targets with Meld, and Monkey King is certainly fragile enough to be one of them. In turn, Monkey King plays around his ultimate, looking for the perfect moment to catch her in a teamfight and negate her biggest strength. The matchup isn't about one hero being stronger; it’s about which one dictates the terms of the engagement.
