Wukong or Trundle

Trundle. Even though he is classified as a fighter, Trundle is often build as a tank with items such as Sunfire Cape, Spirit Visage, Dead Man's Plate and sometimes even Frozen Mallet. Many players build Wukong as a lethality assassin due to the armor reduction on his Q and his high base damage and scaling on his E and R.

I want to buy a tanky top laner.

Wukong is not a tank at all. The only real effective way to play him atm is AD assassin

I love wukong but in his current state he struggles a lot in the meta. Very feast or famine when going assassin, or you have to go full tank and not bother fighting your opponent as much.

If you're looking for all around strong, Trundle is a great pick. People don't really know how to play well against him and his ultimate allows him to completely invalidate an enemy tank during a teamfight. On top of that he's never really been 'weak' because he just doesn't hold the spotlight ever (really low play rate) so a lot of the time he becomes sleeper OP but nobody notices or cares to play him.

But if you like mobility and stealth, Wukong is lots of fun. It's so much fun to trick opponents with him and his build path can go either assassin or diver.

Trundle is way better.

Trundle sees pro play because his ult counters tanks. It steals their tankiness so Trundle can build bruiser but be insanely tanky while making the enemy tank squishier. His pillar also brings some good utility to the table. He also has high DPS because his Q gives him a lot of AD and his W gives him attack speed. Even if he's built tanky he hits hard.

Wukong is fun with the cheesy assassin build with duskblade but overall he's not actually going to win you as many games as Trundle.

All right then Trundle looks like the better pick. Thanks you guys. [slayer-jinx-wink]
