How Monkey King and Pudge perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Monkey King and Pudge win 48.78% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,831 matches.
Struggling to build an economic lead is common with this duo. Both Monkey King and Pudge are tempo-driven heroes who need successful ganks to stay relevant, but neither farms very quickly if those fights don't happen. This puts immense pressure on your team to secure early kills, because there's no reliable fallback plan for farming your way back into the game. Mechanically, their ganks can be clumsy. A well-aimed Meat Hook might pull an enemy away from where Monkey King is poised to strike from the trees. Even the ideal combo of Dismember inside Wukong's Command only locks down a single person, leaving the rest of the fight uncontrolled.
