How Earthshaker and Monkey King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earthshaker and Monkey King win 43.59% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 913 matches.
Competing for the same pockets of farm tends to define the early and mid-game for this duo. Both Earthshaker and Monkey King are melee heroes who are heavily reliant on hitting a specific item timing before they can initiate fights and be effective. This shared dependency often leaves the team playing from behind and ceding map control. When they do finally group up, their spells can be surprisingly difficult to coordinate. Earthshaker's Fissure is a powerful tool, but it can equally block Monkey King's path, preventing him from building Jingu Mastery stacks. They both want to be the one starting the fight, but their toolkits don't mesh well enough to justify the slow start they impose.
