How Drow Ranger and Monkey King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Drow Ranger and Monkey King win 40.35% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 565 matches.
Fighting inside Wukong's Command puts Drow Ranger in a terrible spot. Monkey King wants to create a chaotic brawl where enemies are forced to deal with him up close. This is the exact situation that disables Drow's Marksmanship, shutting down her primary source of damage. Instead of a frontliner who can create space and peel for her, Monkey King is a diver who brings the fight directly on top of the team. His ideal initiation is her worst-case scenario, as she needs enemies to be kept at a distance to be effective.
Across a match, this forces the team to fight on two completely different planes. Monkey King will find an opening to jump into the enemy backline, but Drow Ranger can't follow up without getting swarmed and losing her ultimate's bonus damage. She's left trying to hit targets on the edge of the fight, or she's forced to retreat entirely. A successful team with Drow needs heroes who can lock down targets from range or form a protective wall. Monkey King does the opposite, leaving his carry exposed and often powerless right when he makes his big move.
