How Monkey King and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Monkey King and Troll Warlord win 46.72% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 137 matches.
Putting both Monkey King and Troll Warlord on the same team often creates a core identity crisis for your draft. Both heroes want to be the focal point of a fight and require immense farm to come online. Monkey King needs the enemy to clump up for a big Wukong's Command, while Troll Warlord wants to isolate a single target he can run down during Battle Trance. Their game plans don't align, and neither offers the lockdown or control the other needs to truly excel. You end up with two resource-heavy cores competing for the same farm on the map, leaving your team feeling underpowered and lacking the utility needed to win crucial mid-game teamfights.
