Wukong changes, are they happening?

We were told a while back that Wukong changes would be coming however, just like the Teemo changes, they aren't on the PBE anymore. Are these changes still happening? I would love to see my favorite champion get a buff or at least have less mana costs on his abilities because right now, he seems almost unplayable. I just thought I would bring this up due to the fact that I'm dying to see my champion become playable again.

They are. A rioter replied in a similar thread a while back. He’s been put on delay while the art team is working on pre-season changes(lots of work to be done there). They are happy with the gameplay side, but won’t have the manpower for his visuals until early spring. He’ll probably be done anywhere from April to June.

I second this. I never see Wukong anymore. I never played him, but I'm starting to miss the little rod-spinning sneak in my games.

As a player with more than 600 games as Wukong in the last 2-3 seasons, no, you don't want to see him. His kit is toxic af and if played correctly you can 1 Vs 9 s lot of games. Play adc or any squishy pick against him is a nightmare

I can confirm that because if wukong is relevant on meta, this mean that i've to die to an undodjable rotation of spell in one combo (W+EQ) . I hope the rework bring him into more of a sustained fighter

Yeah, who doesn't miss the guy that one shots your ADC from invisibility and proceeds to CC your whole team with his ultimate? Why do you guys always forget why certain champions get guted in first place? His kit doesn't even offer counterplay because of how straight foward it is. He needs a rework before anything.

They will be coming sometime after Pre-season as the artists involved with those visuals were being used to work on pre-season (I have a theory that they've also been the ones working on art for the new games, but there's nothing to confirm that tbh so just saying the pre-season stuff for now). Now that those are done and the new head of the project taking over from Meddler has been picked (Aatrox rework guy... which honestly hope he doesn't have to touch the update much if at all...), They should be getting back to work on those and we should be seeing something back on the PBE soonish (tm), along with an update for Diana along the same scope. They haven't given an solid date of course as they can't really say for sure when the work will be done, so honestly at this point I suppose it just depends on how many new visuals and what's actualy being added (Meddler said there might be a few new lines for Wukong, which if he is being added to any other games could make sense as his VA would be in house atm) too decide when we'll see the changes come back. But yea, in short they aren't canceled, just had to be put on hold for pre-season.
