How Monkey King and Snapfire perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Monkey King and Snapfire win 43.25% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 867 matches.
Taking control of the map with this duo often feels disjointed because their teamfight plans work against each other. The core issue lies with their ultimates. Monkey King needs enemies to be held in place inside his Wukong's Command so he can build damage stacks and secure kills. But Snapfire excels at forcing enemies to reposition from long range with Mortimer Kisses. Her ultimate encourages the enemy team to scatter, which is the exact opposite of what Monkey King wants when he commits to a fight, often leaving him stranded inside an empty arena.
This conflict plays out in messy, indecisive engagements around objectives. The enemy team finds it easy to disengage, as Snapfire’s damage gives them another reason to run from Monkey King's circle. For the pairing to have a chance, Snapfire has to use her ultimate to zone out reinforcements rather than targeting the main fight. Even her Firesnap Cookie can be a problem. Instead of providing the clean setup Monkey King needs, the forced movement can misalign his attacks and make it harder to build his Jingu Mastery stacks on a single target.
