How Luna and Monkey King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Luna and Monkey King win 44.49% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 535 matches.
Facing down a Wukong's Command is often a simple matter of walking out of the circle. This creates a problem when Luna is on the same team, as she needs enemies to be grouped or held down for Eclipse to be effective. With targets already scattering to avoid Monkey King, her ultimate frequently whiffs. Neither hero brings the kind of large area lockdown that the other needs to guarantee their damage. Monkey King's Boundless Strike isn't enough to hold multiple enemies in place, leaving both heroes with powerful damage spells that don't line up well together.
This core conflict extends across the entire game. Both Luna and Monkey King are greedy heroes who want to occupy the same core farming role, leading to inefficient use of the map. Their timings clash, as Monkey King wants to fight early and leverage his mobility, while Luna needs space and time to farm her essential items. The team is forced into a difficult choice: either fight early around Monkey King and watch a weak Luna get focused, or play passively for Luna and waste Monkey King's crucial early-game power spike.
