How Monkey King and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Monkey King and Tidehunter win 42.29% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 603 matches.
Landing a big Ravage to set up Wukong's Command is the entire plan for this duo. The problem is that it commits two massive, long-cooldown ultimates to a single moment. If that initial burst doesn't secure key kills, the fight gets difficult. Monkey King is then locked in his arena, and Tidehunter offers limited control after his initial stun wears off. Opponents who can survive the combo with defensive items or save abilities can easily turn the tables. This pairing relies heavily on perfect execution and timing, and when the big wombo-combo doesn't instantly win the teamfight, the follow-up from Monkey King and Tidehunter often isn't enough to clean up.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
