How Monkey King and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Monkey King and Io win 41.08% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 370 matches.
Struggling to control the map early is a common outcome for this pairing. Monkey King relies on a strong start to build momentum, but Io doesn't provide the lane pressure needed to secure it, often leaving him playing from behind. The more significant issue arises during teamfights around Wukong's Command. Monkey King must remain inside his ultimate to be effective, but Io's Tether can easily pull him out of position if Io needs to move, prematurely ending the spell. This core mechanical conflict makes it difficult for them to execute their game plan, as Io's attempt to save an ally can ruin Monkey King's biggest contribution.
