    I have been using Tide. I also like Drow against MK. What are some other picks that you guys have been using to counter him?

      Slardar and timbersaw are great

      Luxon

        Good luck countering MK as timbersaw.

              Timber is an easy way to gain passive for MK. If Timber can't nukes him fast enough then good luck stopping him from destroying you.

                Ow it really makes you think

                ^^

                      just kill him, he's sitting on like 1300 hp and has no way to escape once he jumped u

                        Well... unless he grabs a sb

                          MKs that buys SB are retarded MKs which you should destroy if you can actually play the game

                            Lol its actually a thing in my server

                              sb is good on mk

                              u deal with sb mk the same way u deal with any sb hero

                                Techies mines?

                                  Don't need another initiation tool on MK, or escape item imo
                                  I might be wrong tho

                                  1-IceTea 🌟

                                    Pick Ursa and 1v1 man fight him, monkey will die to the bear,put your trust in me boy (if not, at least trust my lich-king Arthas PP)

                                    offlaner

                                      pick ursa. initiate upon him, dust if shadowblade enrage (keep overpower ready)= gg. doesn't mean that this is counter to the hero though.

                                        Pick zues and buy aghs. Use ult and go cast nimbus on mk position. MK cant do shit if he is on tree. And also MK is a bullshit that said not even gods could stop him lmao.

                                        midQ

                                          Slark :)) I don´t know why people complain against MK when he is counterable by so many heroes. Slark can´t touch him until level 6, then he destroys him(with proper farm and itemization)

                                          Onions

                                            Literally 2/3 of the hero pool counters him without too much deviation from their normal item build. Any hero with a stun, disable or silence counters him. Any hero that would carry an item that stuns, disables or silences him is a counter.

                                            Drow and slardar are two of my faves since gust/crush arent blocked by linkens.

                                            Forgot How to play

                                              Well for Me storm spirit can own him well

                                              Shou

                                                Storm, beastmaster, windranger, venge, batrider. Disable him and he dies. Force him out of ulti and u can win teamfight. Storm is also rlly good. Breaking trees isnt the hard counter, its just icing on the delicious bm and wr cake.

                                                Silariel

                                                  He's generally countered by stuns and burst damage, so anything that can lock him down and kill him quickly is a soft counter. Lina, PA, TA, Ursa, Sven, Wraith King, Bane, Techies, Zeus. He counters most other tanks / manfighters, though I've seen a centaur + tiny offlane combo tear him apart.

                                                  Timber is good but only later in the game if he doesn't feed like mad (which he will if you send him alone against MK in lane). Honorary mention to beastmaster for vision. A monkey caught out of position is f'ed.

                                                  _kuhaku_

                                                    ^ lol i saw techies, and btw pudge is one counter

                                                    Hopeless

                                                      not enoughpeople saying bat

                                                      BTC

                                                        I think someone that's tanky and build blade mail could works on him. Just be sure to activate BM before he gets 4 hits on you.

                                                        The Medic Guy

                                                          obviously heroes with the same flying vision can counter monkey king

                                                          beast master, storm spirit, bat rider, visage.

                                                              1.) Ban MK
                                                              2.) If first step failed, pick MK

                                                                Lycan and visage imo r counters in the sense they take mk's towers before he can do anything. Also pudge cant do shit, mk just walks up and hits him to death

                                                                twitch.tv/r1zkydota

                                                                  MK isn't just about dangling in the trees while spectre only counters that

                                                                  M u r d e r

                                                                    jo~

                                                                          According to the worst vs page, high mobility heroes are his natural counter.

                                                                          Rain

                                                                              TBH, Visage counters pretty much everything this patch

                                                                                Rain

                                                                                    r
