"With no hard crowd control in the early game, we want to make sure ~~Lee Sin~~ Wukong brings best-in-class ~~2v2~~ 1v1 dueling power".

Guess what? It worked! now where's my Wukong buff Rito?

Death is the longest cc. And QQE + Tlords is a LOT a fucking death early.

Meeks011Sep 13, 20173 votes

QQE? The fuck kind of cooldowns exist in your world? In mine it's 9 seconds, and you have no CC to keep them around for 9 seconds longer.

I believe he was talking about Lee Sin and not Wukong.

10/10 Lee Sin combo... Luck killing anybody with that.

Wait so since Evelynn doesn't have ANY cc early game and only has soft cc at lvl 6 does that mean she gets to be buffed to be able to 1v2?

Evelyn's been left to idle in the dumpster while Riot finishes her rework, because her kit as it stands right now is toxic to face when she's actually strong.

WinTheWarOnPantsSep 13, 20172 votes

Evelynn isn't "in the dumpster" more than any other champ that isn't an adc or sup. But more importantly, why are you replying seriously to my obviously sarcastic comment on an obviously sarcastic post?

Because I'm frequently terrible at detecting sarcasm.... :(

but wukong already brings the best dueling power in early game?

who can outduel this bullshit champ at lvl 3?

DuskDaUmbreonSep 12, 20172 votes

Uhm... Fiora . Maybe. Jax might be able to. They're the two big duelists.

And of course Pantheon does, because he instawins against every champion levels 2-9.

And uhm...

...Yeah. That's it.

Darius Renekton Chogath Illaoi Kled Riven Talon Tryndamere

You're wrong about Fiora though. Thats a skill matchup. In the beginning anyway. She whoops you pretty hard in the mid/late game

Sun Wu RyuumokuSep 13, 20171 votes

Wukong is better than her after lv3 if i recall (unless u derp). Its a free match up for Wu.

If Fiora manages to W wukongs dash and land it on his face i figure he´s fairly boned, he´ll have missed a lot of damage and be forced to burn his W early for little reward.

Bait?

Meeks011Sep 13, 20171 votes

Renekton ? Just stun E through twice and Q for 2/3 of his health. Chogath ? 1.6 second silence.

Also, Wukong's invis is pretty shit early because you get blocked by your own minion wave.

MelledoneusSep 13, 20173 votes

Even Shen can duel him.

Shen.

The champion Riot has shit on because they hate him. The one who has the worst base stats of any tank and the weakest single-target CC.

I Main SwainSep 13, 20173 votes

i honestly prefered the old shen over this one

Sun Wu RyuumokuSep 13, 20171 votes

The meme is Wukong have the best lv2... if i recall (at least, it was on Wu flair).

PrinceOfStormsSep 13, 20173 votes

Wukong needs a complete rework tbh.

AtanchanSep 13, 20172 votes

I think rather than a buff, a rework of the scope that Xin Zhao is getting would be more fitting. Replace an ability ( prob his Q and E ), give him a new innate, and tag some extra utility on another ability capped off with some number tweaks.

Wukong looks cool, but his kit is toxic, also his stuff is coded in a such way that you get hit even, if you dashed or flashed away. So fun... It's just another brainless champ like Xin, Voli, Udyr etc.

That's kind of every champ, besides Kalista . Most things in the game are coded where it still 'hits' even if you leave range before the animation has completely finished, again excluding Kalista because of her passive. For example, if Ekko begins the second half of his E animation and you flash behind a wall or into a bush he'll follow you.

This is somewhat similar to Ezreal 's interaction, while bullshit, if he gets pulled before the actual animation is finished he'll still arrive at his destination.

If it helps comfort you, Wukong is actually weak right now and is mostly getting by because of Lethality but even a lot of his mains say he's garbage right now, he doesn't have an exact identity and doesn't work too well outside of lower elos. If you don't believe me, check reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Wukongmains/ https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/6tuzvy/wukong_needs_a_rework_here_is_why/

MLDzXnRRRSep 13, 20171 votes

Well, considering that toplane meta is stuff like Darius, Riven, Gnar etc, he could be considered underpowered. But play him vs other balanced champs and he is fine.

Let me try this Evelynn

With no hard crowd control in the early game or late game, we want to make sure Evelynn brings best-in-class 5v1 dueling power. We’re buffing up Agonys Embrace’s early shield to make The Widowmaker’s perfectly-played flanks even more impactful.

Shield Strength Per Champion:150 / 225 / 300 => 200 / 300 / 400

Guess what? It worked! now where's my Eve Rework Rito¿??¿

StainedViolettSep 13, 20171 votes

Ghostcrawler talked about him on their may q&a stream. He said Wukong doesn't need much to make him viable but a mini rework might be in order. he isn't very high on the list tho.
