Is it just me or is Wukong not viable top any more?

Gone are the days where wukong could trade decently with his Q, now he feels like crap in lane. I'm not going to lie he is magic in jungle but i use to play him top. I'm not going to pretend like im a pro but I'd like some suggestions because hes countered now by everyone but teemo and has 0 sustain, high cd, and high mana cost compared to every other champ i dont think his nerf was justified either.

I don't think he's ever been an actual premiere pick top, but he's always been pretty good at it. I think he's better mid than he is top though. A lot less bad matchups.

But you don't want to be trading with just Q(I'm thinking you're meaning kind of poking with it here) because a single hit isn't all that scary, especially now that its %ArP scales from 10-30% instead of just 30% at level 1. How you generally trade is E AA Q W and you walk off with free damage. Do it twice, and they're in trouble. E is what you want to be leveling, and the AS from it will help you win actual fights to the death. Poking with Q is fine if that's all you can do, but you really want to hit them hard and then bail with Decoy.

But most champs can't deal with Wu level 2 when you're running AD runes and 21/9 masteries. You just hit level two, level Q, go at them, and if they're inexperienced with how much damage lane Wukong does(as most are) they'll try to trade for a second but by then it's too late and you can ignite them to finish them off. If they flash off, first blood is worth flashing for on Wukong too, because if you're playing him right once you're ahead it's over.

He has good outplay potential with his W, so you can turn ganks around occasionally as well.

Just have rune pages that're 15 AD, 9 Armor, MR/lvl(or 6 CDR + 3 MR/lvl ) for going against AD and 15 AD, health/lvl(or flat health), flat MR for going against AP, with either 21/9/0(taking Blade/Spell weaving) or 21/6/3(taking 1.5% ms)
