So Wukong was nerfed because the balance team's philosophy is against [ 1shotting ]

Teach me your ways guys!

When an Assassin is one shotting thats fine.

Wukong isnt one. Or shouldnt be at least

Then they give him one of one most unless buffs I have ever seen in a video game.

Are people really going to try and defend Wukong? You understand how unfair the oneshot from Wu actually was? There is no instance where anyone can counter it. All you had to say was that they shouldnt buff his passive, because it was the quality that had the least counter-play, it plus DH is deadly. But honestly I dont think that is actually that big of a buff, with duskblade being nerfed, you need to build yourself up with DH. So tbh I think this buff is more for the best plays that can, play well in the early game with no rune basically.

Both are bad for the game.

The Idea that 100-0 is even possible before 30m is why this game is bad.

I think making Wukong unable to 1 shot is fine...

However, the Q nerfs were too harsh and the attack speed buff was not enough. If they don't want him to be able to one shot, they should increase his tankiness, mana and/or health pool, or give his kit a bit more utility (slow on the clone, heal damage his clone takes, cleave on his Q, etc.)

The problem is they nerfed his damage a ton, without giving him anything in return... Except for 8% attack speed, not even to the ratio. This isn't much of a help, with the 7th lowest mana pool in the game and a Q which is a 40 mana auto attack reset. His early game is insanely weak compared to other junglers.

Either make him an assassin (and one shot) or increase other areas enough to be a bruiser. Right now, he's bad at both.
