Why out of all champs WUKONG doesn't get any damage modifier against jungle camps?

is a monkey, monkeys live in the jungle, should be mainly focused towards jungler role. Yet his kit has a poor waveclear, a passive that doesn't provide ANYTHING against jungle camps, no damage, no sustain at all, and he has no damage modifier against them as well.

Why? when you gonna stop manipulating with the meta, buff champs that used to be godtier and still after nerfs perform better than champs you barely give attention , so you buff them again because challenger tier demands it?

Lethality was fine, until again you've randomly decided to rework the only 3 items that are available for assassins instead of giving them an additional option.

is literally unplayable this season, you wanna jungle? get counterjungled and out performed by faster clearing junglers who provide better ganks Wanna top? I've read counters , well, that's no more.

Did you just assume his habitat?

Jokes aside, if you can't top as wukong, wth are you doing?

good thing this game is balanced solely around lore and theme and not around having actual balance between champs

[[Within Ionia's treetops dwells a vastayan tribe known as the Shimon. These apelike creatures are a wise, cautious people, and as pacifists, chose to build their society away from landwalkers, cultivating their society atop the tallest trees in Ionia. The Shimon see life as an evolutionary climb to wisdom, thus upon death, the Shimon believe they become Stone Skin.png stones, returning to the soil to begin the climb of life again.]]

Ok?

And this disproves my point how?...

Wu is a great top laner or even a decent mid laner. He doesn't have to be a jungler at all real life assumptions don't apply in video games.

well he used to be a jungler until the jungle kept getting harder and harder to clear

Sun Wu RyuumokuJul 26, 20178 votes

was still a top if i recall, and jungle's still his side job.

"My place is at the top".

AwoofJul 27, 20171 votes

He BECAME a jungler when it got easier to clear, and disappeared again when it got harder again, yes.

Sun Wu RyuumokuJul 26, 20178 votes

Wukong isn't a GREAT top laner. He's decent. Ask urself why he isn't played in pro games if he's so great.

Would be great if his W deal more to jungle camps.

is a monkey, monkeys live in the jungle, should be mainly focused towards jungler role.

this is BS. Wukong isn't ur vulgar monkey.

Why? when you gonna stop manipulating with the meta, buff champs that used to be godtier and still after nerfs perform better than champs you barely give attention , so you buff them again because challenger tier demands it?

No, they buff hit cause they wan't more diversity for proplay, and x champ are good looking (gameplay wise).

Lethality was fine, until again you've randomly decided to rework the only 3 items that are available for assassins instead of giving them an additional option.

lethality wasn't fine. Now its fine. And these items are great with Wukong.

is literally unplayable this season, you wanna jungle? get counterjungled and out performed by faster clearing junglers who provide better ganks Wanna top? I've read counters , well, that's no more.

BS MonkeyKing is playable at the top & jungle. He's not the best, deserve a rework, but he's definitly viable.

And stop build this sh*t item 3046

Wukong AirlinesJul 26, 20171 votes

Building item 3046 gives me a great dueling potential (specially late game where your ult is easily dodged or lifestealed) and significantly increases your damage and coordinates well with the Q + E AS steroid.

Sun Wu RyuumokuJul 26, 20171 votes

so why build it so early... btw even with this item u won't rival with true dualist as Jaximus or Fiora

Wukong is a jungler?

Sun Wu RyuumokuJul 26, 20176 votes

He's a toplaner & jungler as side job

Let's see what Wukong thinks.

AbiwonKenabiJul 26, 20172 votes

If you go by his "Journey to the West" inspiration, a solo, 1v1 lane makes a lot more sense for him. Sun Wukong was an extremely ambitious and violent fighter that claimed to be more powerful than heaven and Buddha had to eventually trap him under a mountain so he would stop fighting everything.

I don't get people that play Wukong jungle. He's so much better as a top laner. Your passive is completely useless in the jungle and your clear ability is mediocre to say the least. He's got good harass and engage to where he can be very strong if he gets ahead. We don't need to entirely change and re-invent the character or kit just because you have fantasies about Wukong jungle. By your logic Rumble should be a jungler because he has a 'Rumble in the Jungle' skin. Wukong wasn't designed to exclusively be a jungler and not everything needs to be taken so literally.

Your passive is completely useless in the jungle and your clear ability is mediocre to say the least.

His passive is weak for laning too... close of useless in team fight tho.

For Wu, he definitvly deserve a VU. But yeah, his place is at the top.

Doesn't he have armor shred on q?

Wukong AirlinesJul 26, 20171 votes

Most jungle camps have fixed armor or set to 0. that wouldnt help him in the jungle.

Sun Wu RyuumokuJul 26, 20171 votes

Wu armor shred is %reduction, jungle camp have low armor number, so it dosn't really help.

SalsonJul 26, 20171 votes

Because it would actually screw him over the same way Graves was screwed over by his jungle interaction.

RainbowIceeJul 26, 20171 votes

he may not have great sustain but he has great ganks though. HIs wave clear is the clear problem though :/ but if you get a nice pick up you're good to go!

Sun Wu RyuumokuJul 26, 20171 votes

his gank aren't great until u get ur lv6.
