Buff Wukong 2017

Dear Riot. I love Wukong, I really love to play him, However a long while back you guys nerfed him because his ult was really good for a teamfight. The problem is now he sucks at top lane, and is subpar in the jungle. (and i really doubt my team would enjoy me playing him bot lane) I could try him mid "Monkey in the middle" but people always look at me as a trolla / the mages are wicked strong vs him.

My Main Monkey Man needs some love, he needs to have a true class he belongs in, is he tank? is he assassin? is he bruiser? because his kit trys to imply he is all 3 but sucks at all 3. His stealth is too short (and with recent changes you can actually see him leave his body so now you cant even juke people) which makes him weak assassin, his passive feels too weak for him to be tanky. and currently he is outclassed by every other stacked kit top laner who has all kindas of CC for punishing wukong for even looking at them.

As a jungler ... well he has slow clears, takes too much damage and will get counter jungled by every picked jungler atm

Brah I was going to make a post just like this.

His jungle clear speed is so weak right now. I can't think of any other jungler with a worse clear in terms of speed and sustain.

The only real thing I want them to change is to make his W more useful and improve his passive. That passive is terrible and outdated.

Edit: Garen actually gets the same armor and MR even when no champions are nearby because of his W passive. And his W even has a nice active :c

Wukong one-trick reporting in

Wukong is completely fine. The only reason he isnt that great top atm is that any of the champs that can abuse CotC shit on him. They're already nerfing it. His Jungle clear is absolutely fine. Wukong doesn't need a 55% win rate to be "ok"

Please stop trying to give my main buffs that he doesnt need. Maybe you just need more practice or something

Wtf ?? NOW ? since age IMO.

For Mid, u can't blind pick Wukong... most of mid will r*pe u.

Wukong is a Divers, he was the closest to assassins from Divers class.

his passive feels too weak for him to be tanky.

hell y, useless passive. But he'll be rework

Wukong need more than a simple buff

Wow. I also was gonna post this. I've mained Wukong since S5 and made it to Diamond 5 solely with him (dropped back to Plat 1 lol). He's really such a good champ to start with and dominate in lower elo, but it starts to get harder playing wukong in plat and diamond. I feel it's like that because I rely more on luck than outplay. There's really little room for outplay with Wukong. His W really is important in lane but once that's down, you're pretty much ducked by the top lane champs buffed during S6 and so forth.

I only see Wukong having problems in the early game. His level 2 powerspike is very scary to use with all the harassing match ups nowadays/ isn't as strong as it used to be. Jungle or Top. He is a very snowballing champion so he's pretty naturally set for middle/late (by getting right picks from roaming and it having a power spike by then).

I propose that at least Wukong's passive gets buffed. Something to help him last in lane to until he makes it to middle game.

I agree about that wukong is pretty weak right now. I mean he used to be a top god, now he's so crap against other top laners. The only thing i see that he is good at doing is assassinating squishies and thats it. He's only good against squishies so just take him mid lane if you know what to do. Triforce is pretty good on him if you wanna delete squishies easily. Its not even worth it to build tank on him too, GA should be your only tank item and the rest just build damage.

Wukong isn't really bad, he's got a 50% win rate right now.

i really think its true, im wukong main and i cant play him anymore because hes useless in ganks when hes under level 6, he dies fast, his auto attacks are useless, he needs a lot of farm to 1 shot, late game is OP yea maybe nurf ult and buff the rest, that would be fair i think. also if you play him top lane is so bad, i got dived when i was full hp and darius was 75* hp and i ulted him and he still got me

Cool idea I just had: reward Wukong with permanent ad based on the amount of damage his clone takes from champions :o
