Ban him
Pick him

OR just delete this LOL champ out of the game. Because that is what he is. A jumping 300 range mellee +200 dmg with 50% lifesteal LOL champ. gj volvo, very impressive first hero.

And if this Frazer admin gonna quote this stupid overall 49% winrate once again.... i dunno
Because people cant play him properly yet, it doesnt mean his SKILLS are freakin imbalanced.

Btw, Echo Saber Slow is working on his ult monkeys. Well seems balanced. 14 slowing, untargetable, 15 seconds lasting, 100% attackdamage illusions. Yea, he's balanced!

Hes quite counterable if hes up against PA or WK

Or when I play Shadow SHaman and got him shackled for eternity while my carries take him out.

I have good luck with Visage, scouting him on trees with familiars. Maybe try that? 14-3 with visage this patch btw, plenty of monkey king games in there

Dota 2 didn't copy LoL. Dota 2 copied...Dota 1.

Ermagerds! [Insert Any Hero] is OP when your team plays good and other team doesn't counter!

I was treant with aghs and we saw MK in a tree so our WR shot the trees down, he was stunned for 4 sec and dead. RIP eye in the forest you will be remembered for your sacrfice.

So uh, yeah, his ult needs a tweak thats for sure. Those illusions are invincible, get 100% of your damage and items, and MORE damage on top of that. Those illusions with echo sabre and deso = you wipe a team while you Euls yourself. Its really really stupid.

No other illusions besides Arc Warden get to copy items, especialy things as powerful as echo, deso, or basher. And MK gets 12 of them!

Psst: I never said he didn't need a nerf.

I only ever mentioned winrate to those who said MK wins "every" game. Which at the moment he does not.

windranger works reasonably fine, powershot for when he jumps atop a tree, lock him down with shackleshot, focus him with focus fire, and if he gets cheeky and ults you just use windrun and skeedaddle the ♥♥♥♥ outta there.

in lower tiers blood thorn will work, due to monkey most likely will build trashy raw damage items making him easily shut down later on.

but in higher tiers monkey king himself will have things like linkins, blood thorn, silver edge, butterfly, shivas, satanic abyssal. thus in higher tiers he is harder to counter assuming the monkey king player knows how to play him.

poison damage prevents naruto ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, just buy that snek head.

Guess play testing still is isn't a thing

Except his winrate is almost identical across all brackets, so even if he's harder to counter, then it seems like people get better at countering him anyway.
