How Monkey King and Puck perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Monkey King and Puck win 36.22% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 254 matches.
Picking these two heroes together feels like trying to solve the same problem twice with conflicting answers. Puck wants to control a fight from a safe distance, using Dream Coil to create a zone that enemies are afraid to leave. Monkey King, on the other hand, needs to be in the absolute center of the chaos, using Wukong's Command to force a brawl. While Dream Coil can hold enemies inside MK's ultimate, it doesn't offer the hard, single-target stun that Monkey King needs to safely build Jingu Mastery stacks on a priority target. They both want to dictate the mid-game tempo, but their methods don't directly amplify each other.
This disconnect often plays out as two separate game plans running at once. When Puck initiates a fight, Monkey King might struggle to find a safe entry point to drop his ultimate without being focused down immediately. If MK commits first, Puck's elusive playstyle doesn't provide the frontline presence or save needed to keep him alive. The result is a team composition that feels fractured. Your carries are fighting parallel battles instead of working together, making it difficult to focus down opponents or protect your own key heroes during crucial teamfights.
