@Riot, Where does Wukong fall right now under your 5 pillars of a successful champ?

For everyone who doesn't know, Riot recently made a video that talked about their 5 pillars of what they feel makes a successful champion:

What I want to know is where does Wukong fall under these pillars? I know he was on the list for an update when class updates were still a thing and now is somewhere behind and I believe (give or take a few champs). I assume he was on the list for the class update because he is not hitting the mark on some of these pillars yet is not higher priority cause he is hitting the mark on more pillars then champs like and , so I would like to know what pillars is Wukong not currently delivering on and what pillars does he hit the mark on?

Satisfying to play - Check resonant play theme - Nope . Wukong is meant to be Sun Wukong. Skill expressive - Nope. Unless his W. U just go E > aa > Q Fair - hum. Don't really know. Unique - nope. just kit wise he don't bring anything unless his w, and this spell is poor.

I'd like to believe he at least delivers under the fairness pillar since he does have clear strengths and weaknesses that you can work around. other then that I think I agree. Skill expressive I think he's very close to what they said about XinZhao in the video and his skill expressiveness (that is to say, that he has very little).

He doesn't really bring anything unique that another champ doesn't already have in some form, his theme is still "Sun Wukong" game play wise and he can be pretty satisfying, but to me it feels more cause I beat a champ modernized champ using an archaic kit.
