How Dazzle and Monkey King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Monkey King win 45.20% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,000 matches.
Trying to keep Monkey King alive during Wukong's Command often puts Dazzle in an impossible position. Monkey King wants to plant himself deep in the enemy team, but Dazzle is a backline hero who needs space to cast spells and stay safe. This forces a difficult choice: Dazzle can either run forward into danger to try and land a Shallow Grave, likely dying himself, or he has to watch from too far away as Monkey King gets focused. Monkey King also prefers a support with reliable lockdown to help him secure Jingu Mastery stacks in lane, an area where Dazzle’s kit falls short, leading to an awkward pairing.
