How Monkey King and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Monkey King and Riki win 47.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 298 matches.
Picking off a lone support often feels like the only thing this pair can do together. Both Monkey King and Riki are elusive, mobile heroes who want to play an active roaming game, but they don't offer each other much. Riki’s Smoke Screen is nice, but Monkey King usually wants to engage from the trees, not from inside a cloud on the ground. They're both looking for the same kind of farm and the same kind of gank targets. When it works, you have two annoying damage dealers running around the map. When it fails, your team has no frontline and no big lockdown, leaving both Riki and Monkey King feeling pretty useless.
