Pantheon or wukong top for low elo

d4rkshock·Feb 19, 2017·1 votes·1,838 views

Lethality is broken so the easy top lanners that come to mid are pantheon and wukong. Both are played top, mid, and jg but I'm most focused on top. Pantheon goes top and against a riven or fiora and you get ahead and they are useless because they are feast or famine (like pantheon) but if they get ahead, same issue for pantheon but if they took no armor, they should die easily. He falls off late so I build defense after I get my lethality items. Wukong isn't the lane winner that pantheon is but he doesn't fall off late. He builds the same stuff and also dives just like pantheon.after killing someone, he W's out so he can potentially go full ad. Again, he's useless when behind. I don't think he snowballs as hard but he still can snowball hard. So who is better?

Honestly if you really want to carry teams in low Elo, play Maokai. You will do more damage building full tank on that champion than any carry in the game. His damage and ratio's are extremely overtuned right now. Take advantage of it while you can.

Maokai is horrible in low ELO tbh. Way too team reliant

I need to be able to carry my self. This is solo/duo. Not flex. If that's the case, not happening. Besides I like snowball champions. Assuming they are easy since I'm not the best mechanically. I do have good decision making but definitely not gold or plat. I think I could do good in mid silver to low gold if I actually practiced.

lol this is aint no lie...

but most teams /players in lower elos dont allow time for mao to get the holy trinity of tanks and usually get to far behind ( other team ahead) that he cant be effective due to how far behind his team is. (maokai main here)

item 3110 item 3065 item 3068 or as i alter it item 3025

but getting just a item 3027 you do a shit ton more damage and have the HP and MANA pools to survive longer plus the passive of catalyst synergizes with him so well the issue is by getting ROA you are delaying the tank holy trinity a lil while and more become a threat mid/late game

I'm a Wukong one trick. A warning:

Wukong is absolute shit early. Outstandingly bad early. If you go into a top lane match thinking you win for free, you'll feed.

For example. You're talking about Wu and Panth right? Panth absolutely destroys Wu in lane easily. Most top lane match ups are not in your favor

I already knew wukong would lose vs pantheon. He is a highly oppressive laner who has very few hard matchups. Didn't think wukong had a very bad early game but I did know his mid and late game were good. I'm not one to go balls to the wall unless I'm playing a champion that needs to. Like yasuo promotes that but can easily win by split pushing and not taking unnecessary risks. Not that I play them but that's what I heard from n3ac3y who is master tier. He also said that wukong can easily focus farm in bronze and fight to survive. Not to be confused with split pushing.

really depends.. Cuz wukong can 1v5 if fed enough.. His ult can fuck squishies super hard.. But that being said, if they have a lot of burst and you go squshy dmg build.. ur prob gana blow up.

They both have their risk/reward just pick the 1 you like most.
