Lethality just broke Wukong.

He rushes a serrated dirk in lane and unless you're a lane bully he wins every trade until he inevitably dives and kills you because you might as well not have armor.

Then not only does he start strong, his ultimate becomes a spinning death machine of no counterplay. I watched a 4.5k HP Yorick with 270 armor get 100-0'd in a single Wukong ult.

Now imagine how much agency less stat-heavy champions have against that. Getting one shot out of stealth is not fun, hence why Rengar is getting nerfs.

We might be seeing Wukong nerfs soon.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Lethality is super busted right now on any AD champion. I'm really surprised they didn't hot fix it or revert the overbuff they gave it.

Last time I started a thread about Wukong being broken, I was told I was a noob and got downvoted to oblivion. So I'm just gonna say that I agree with OP. Wukong is just too good at too many things.

lethality wukong explodes just as fast as he blows up your carries

it's either him or u bubbi and u better react quick

React quick during a knockup vs. a champ you can't cc.

"can't cc" lol wut? he can be CC'd just as normal, his ult just can't be interrupted. same as garen's spin

You're right, but it's a semantic difference for most champs. If Kat ults Annie with her passive, Kat dies. If Wukong ults Annie with her passive, Annie still dies.

that's why you pick champs with displacements like I just listed

can tell you personally while I've been playing wukong lately that getting Janna ulted after lining up something perfect is the worst feeling

Vekkna1 votes

Ok, so as a mid main, I should pick between Janna, Lee, and Poppy.

Big Lincoln1 votes

yeah i guess teamplay doesn't matter in a team game ecks dee my mistake

mid laners with displacements? you've got taliyah, azir, AP gragas is making a comeback, Anivia can't displace him but a wall can save your team, Veigar can catch his dash if he's quick on the draw

Vekkna1 votes

I didn't realize you were talking about ARAM where the entire team is together all game. My mistake ECKS DEEEE.

Snark aside, Anivia is a good suggestion. TY. =)

Wukong is basically everything wrong with Season 7 wrapped into one champ.

  • stealth
  • cc immunity
  • kit shred
  • abuses lethality

He's always been an obnoxious tilt-lord, but now he's just busted. Right along with his pals Khazix Rengar Nocturne Shaco

in all honesty, MonkeyKing is the only champion i have issues with top lane when i play Jayce

It's not the fucking dummy, i'm not dumb enough to fall for that, it's him just going tanky and ulting me after a duskblade proc, and then ending ult with another stealth and duskblade proc under tower (If I live)
