How Medusa and Monkey King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Monkey King win 43.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 162 matches.
Casting Wukong's Command and Stone Gaze together is often a problem. Enemies trying to run out of Monkey King's ultimate will naturally turn their backs to its center. If Medusa is in the middle of it, they end up avoiding her petrifying gaze simply by trying to escape the circle. This fundamental clash means you rarely get the full effect from either ultimate. On a strategic level, both heroes are greedy cores with different timings. Monkey King wants to hit an early power spike and fight, while Medusa needs to farm safely for the late game. This creates a team that's pulled in two different directions, unable to fully support either hero’s ideal game plan.
