How Monkey King and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Monkey King and Timbersaw win 40.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 338 matches.
Fighting in the woods becomes a huge liability for this pair. Timbersaw’s entire kit, from Timber Chain to Whirling Death, is designed to cut down trees for mobility and damage. This directly sabotages Monkey King, who relies on those same trees for Tree Dance to position for ganks, escape danger, or set up Wukong’s Command. Beyond this core conflict, both heroes are aggressive, space-taking cores who want to be the center of attention. They don't provide the lockdown or defensive support the other needs to truly succeed, leaving the team with two similar damage dealers who actively get in each other's way.
