Good lord. RIOT PLEASE.

Please also ask him to do Amumu Anivia DrMundo Chogath Kennen Nunu Poppy Rammus Taric Teemo Tristana Udyr Janna and Zilean

PS: Corki is still a Yordle, so he gets Yordle ears. And Riot cannot do to Corki what they did to Amumu.

Mostly Wukong could use a new tail and some improved animations all over. As a frequent Wukong player, I'm still quite satisfied with the rest of his model.

Blue Moon WolfDec 22, 20141 votes

yea, it's not a bad model and I think they could get away with an update like Singed or Maokai had... or MasterYi because I don't know if they got new animations. :p I just want at least a new dance, new secret taunts for specific champs (like how Yi has one for Wu, and smaller hands and feet since I don't think monkeys have hands bigger than there head normally.

GaleWinUnleashedDec 22, 20141 votes

I know the new Maokai definitely has a different walking animation, it's quite noticeable if you've had a chance to play him before and after.

Poldy ScarecrowDec 23, 20141 votes

Hahaha so true about the hands. And yeah some interaction with yi and ahri etc would be cool.

I personally think some new armor would be good. That hoola-hoop skirt is so blergh lol. The armor he has is so non functional- skirt, shoulder pad, knee caps and boots. He should get boots like underworld or have him barefooted cuz i don't think monkey feet can fit in the current boots.

The fur should look fuzzier and not like a spiky victorian collar lol.

And the colour scheme is soo blehh. Red, yellow, orange, silver, brown don't mesh well at allll. The red scarf is awesome tho lol.

Blue Moon WolfDec 23, 20141 votes

I know that the armor and color scheme is for the monkey king from journey to the west that he is based on. http://media.animevice.com/uploads/1/19970/332146-1102290.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cQ-U7kPivCs/TGOpqQjVnsI/AAAAAAAAC3k/Y6YdM6EgvxU/s1600/sun-wukong.jpg I can understand the difficulty staying with in these guidelines for what he should look and act like, but still trying to make him your own. The the cool thing is he's made of magic stone, so the armor is really just decoration more or less. I do wish he didn't have that brown fur shirt thing going on, it kind of just blends in to him. :l

patmax17Dec 22, 20147 votes

Hmm... Malphite surely needs an update, but this, while being really cool, doesn't fit him too much I think. It looks a lot like a mecha (especially the face and the abs, compare it to mecha malphite), and it has too much detail to be a real model (look at the recent texture updates/visual upgrades/ texture rebalances). But I generally like his proportions (big shoulders, very small feet, small head, big fists) and the spikes on his back (especially the bottom two. Also, the fact that he "lights up" when using some skills

I don't like malphite. I see him and just don't want to buy him. He's... Ehh. But THIS! This I would buy and use. Just from the look itself. I would use riot points just to have him at this very moment like this. Bad ass.

Malphite is op though :/ Bitches don't know about that Malphite burst and he's a tank with a hard engage

Brenticus12Dec 22, 20141 votes

Some people just don't like how a champion looks enough to warrant playing him cause he's OP. I would never play Trist or Akali because I don't like how they look and their playstyle is boring (I find all ADCs except for Draven, Graves and Sivir boring anyway).

As long as Malphite is still basically a living Rock, that will always be a "problem".

You can play him in many ways

Doesn't matter because he is magic damage and AP scaling

I could play old Grag as AD due to his W AD steroid but it was inefficient thus pointless

BallisticMouseDec 22, 20144 votes

I've seen people go AD with a Hydra to combine with his W's splash and do really well.

SukishooDec 22, 20141 votes

When has scaling mattered? A lot of AD champs have AP scaling on some of their abilities and build AD but can be seen building AP and doing just great (i.e MAGE FORTUNE).

Blue Moon WolfDec 22, 20141 votes

KogMaw has AP abilities but hardly ever see anyone build him that way... unless they are going mid or in aram with a need for AP of course.

AD Malphite is also viable. You have way better wave clear, consistent damage output and even an inbuilt AD steroid. A lot less mana dependant too.

lmao ap tank. you mean ap nuclear explosive. go ahead and build a malphite full ap with a lich bane. see what happens

Now if only they could give him a kit that makes sense for a giant rock monster.

Because as we all know, a rolling stone steals enemy MS.

I dunno ... if i got hit by a giant rolling stone I'd probably be a bit dazed and not running as fast ...

GaleWinUnleashedDec 22, 20141 votes

It's the stealing part that's a little weird. His moves should be high impact (and his ult certainly achieves that), but his W in particular doesn't feel very good. There's little to no decision-making or gameplay involved, on top of the obvious fact that it's just boring to use.

TheRainInSpainDec 23, 20141 votes

Passive inbuilt Tenacity; boulder charging down hill doesn't slow down when hit by puny pistols Mega Gnar's rock toss: it skips to a target behind it, not slows/MSsteal Nautilus stomp shockwave: caster centered AoE slow Poppy/Jax empowered auto attack: A Living BOULDER hits you and doesn't hurt? Jarvan ultimate+AoE knockup: Dash and AoE KU? Jump on top of them and make a big crater AoE KU!

That's how "Living Rock" should be, imo.

The5lackerJan 14, 20151 votes

And then the stone rolls faster.

Because...?

I'm not questioning Malph having a slow: That makes sense. I'm wondering by what means a rock hitting things with rocks accelerates.
