d4rkshock··2 votes·1,525 views

Wukong has a notoriously bad laning phase as a top lane. At least as jg he isnt fighting as much and not all mages are mobile birst mages for mid. Mages also take more time to ramp up. Especially battle mages like ryze and caseopea. Theis his laning phase for toplane in a nutshell. Why are we still here. Just to suffer.every night i can feel my leg, my arm, even my fingers. The body ive lost, the ga.es ive lost, wont stop losing lp. This is due to his bad matchups. So how do i win top lane

You don't. He's a jungler. You might as well be asking how you win Zac top.

yes he is a top lane according to op.gg. theres still a few wukong otp's playing him top. i still see them every so often. also your forgetting he can also mid which is raarely seen for god knows why

My point stands though. There's no point in asking how you play a champion in the wrong role. Regardless of what you do, you should lose.

actually according to op.gg, he is a top lane. theres still at least a few people who will take him top. if he wasn't a top lane, nobody at all would take him top unless he are disabled monkeys who think their hot shit and trying to innovate. so how is this thee wrong role if people still take him top like what he was originally deigned to play

Yasuo "isn't a bot lane"

Ekko "isn't a top lane"

But there's data for those champions in those roles because so many mains still play their champion in off roles. To the vast majority of people who don't main Wukong, he isn't a top laner.

To the vast majority of people who don't main Wukong, he isn't a top laner.

Even for the majority of Wukong mains he's still.

He goes top less than half the time and is 49th out of only 51 champions. What I'm saying is it's not really your fault you're losing top as Wu. There are 48 champions better than him for the role. And that's because "innovators" decided to abuse assassin items in the jungle.

How do you win lane as wukong top ?

You need to abuse ennemy mistake, and having a good wave management. Basically most of your matchup are negative. In worst cases (most of time), you need to farm till 6 and ping jungler for help (ping your ult) or tp bot. Keep your ult for setup a gank or gank bot.

At least as jg he isnt fighting as much and not all mages are mobile birst mages for mid.

Its not true. As jungler its hard to play him, cause your ganks are too weak and ennemy jungler can easly invade you. Ennemy will play meta most of time. When i play Xin or even Rengar, if ennemy pick a weak early jng i abuse him, and make them fall hard behind.

As mid, he's bad too. He have no range and need to commit to cs. He's an easy prey for jungler and mid can abuse their range.

Wukong weaknesses are less obvious in very low elo tho.

Why are we still here.

Dont know. But the champ is honestly trash, unless you are an otp, dont pick him.

Other one, say he's a jungler so you should lose if you play him top... but you will lose too if you play him in jng.

His mana costs are absurd.

That being said, the few times I've been blasted by a top Wu, they rush Sheen/tri and they go for short trades and disengage. E - auto - q disengage. It's hard for many champions to quickly retaliate against that combo, but it also costs like 200 mana.
