How Chaos Knight and Monkey King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Monkey King win 44.19% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 344 matches.
Pairing these two feels like it should create an unbeatable kill lane, but in practice they compete for the same role. Both Chaos Knight and Monkey King want to be the team's primary physical damage dealer and need last hits to get there. Laning together means they are constantly splitting farm, which stunts both of their timings. Their abilities can also work against each other; a good Reality Rift can pull a target out of the perfect spot for Monkey King’s Boundless Strike or even drag them out of Wukong's Command. Instead of a powerful combo, you often get two underfarmed melee cores who can't effectively set each other up.
