Wukong, 55% win rate, 10% play rate. You gonna laugh me off the boards now for saying he's broken?

3 days ago I made a comment asking how long we're gonna pretend this counterplayless, no skill, bullshit of a champion is balanced and got downvoted into oblivion because of "low playrate."

Well now his playrate has skyrocketed to 10% and his win rate is 55%. So what's the excuse now?

Where do you see 10% play rate?

(Apparently I need to preface that these are his Top Lane numbers) 2.21% on Op.gg 1.51% on Champion.gg 3.5% League of Graphs 3.23% on LoLalytics

I'm not going to deny that 55% is a really high win rate, but I'm not calling the easy-to-learn champion with a low skill-ceiling "broken" when his play rate isn't anything to write home about. I'm not calling him "balanced" either, to be clear.

Ive known Wukong has been broken for months. Have you even seen the fucking retarded buffs they gave him when they nerfed Duskblade?

V8.6 Stats Attack damage growth increased to 4 from 3.2.

Crushing Blow Crushing Blow AD ratio increased to 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50% AD from 10% AD at all ranks.

Riot is seriously fucking retarded. Nerf Duskblade because it provided too much burst then proceed to buff every single Duskblade user to make them stronger than before.

Hmm, you're making this difficult, because your reasoning is sound (regardless of whether your statistics are or aren't) but you came here to crow about how you were right and others were wrong. Seems kind of prideful to me, less than noble intentions.

I want to agree with you, but with those prideful / spiteful intentions it's hard to respect or side with you.

Edit (6 hours later): probably the most arrogant thing I've said in a while but I stand by it. Anybody who takes time to gloat about being right instead of settling in for a discussion properly is just being an idiot.

Been saying Wukong is busted for a while. 0 counterplay, INSANE burst with duskblade, amazing team fight, amazing ganks. His only real issues are early in lane if he can't burst you and his mana but it honestly doesn't even matter that much if you're behind considering the value of stealth in > point and click no counterplay dash > AOE steerable knockup.

Absolutely hate fighting wukong, I've been banning him for a month or two now.

To be fair, successful threads on boards typically have a % failure rate "anyway" because if your thread gets downvoted by the first 3 people that see it, it doesn't matter if the other 97 would have upvoted, thread's dead.

It isn't necessarily Wukong that is strong It is just that his kit works perfectly with lethality items, which makes him strong

I made a vow to myself, every time i see a wukong or a fizz i dodge.

I have to ban zed, once enemy midlaner has 0 originality and thinks is a special kiddo, and will 90% of the times pick zed if he is left unbanned

I have to let yasuo open but o well, atleast if you dont try to kill him he cant kill you, you just gotta endure the epic farm under tower until 20 mins gameplay

"counterplayless, no skill, bullshit of a champion " ---> the reason I ban him every game, whether he is 45% or 55% winrate doesn't matter, he is frustrating to play against because the above statement.

Back in the old forums there was a prophet. His name was ducking sicks and he foretold that Wukong was OP.

It looks like his prediction came true!.

Oh he’s completely overpowered, if he’s picked jungle, u basically can one shot any1 with just ur jungle item,when he gets duskblade then, your’e fucked if your anything remotely immobile. If I play any of my fav adc’s against him (mf,jinx,Jhin) I’m most likely going to die every single time he gets near me

Everyone bitching about item 3095 , and item 3078 when he rarely even uses those items.

item 3147 item 3142 item 3071 item 3026 item 1001 item 3074

Prob the most common build if it ever gets that far. If you see a Wukong building storm razor or TF hes probably just fucking around because hes already fed af.

I'm all about this thread though, maybe they'll actually take some time to give him a Xin level rework now. Raise his base numbers, lower his scaling, change his passive and something else. Let him be a diver and not an assassin. Just dont Aatrox the mother fucker, I enjoy his kit.

Wukong isn't the issue, it's Lethality, Sudden Impact, Electrocute.

Before these two things were introduced this champion didn't have much of a place in league, now he pretty much only builds assassin items lmfao.

Wukong main here. Wukong is currently only broken because of the introduction of Storm Razor. The item, and NOT Wukong, require direct nerfs.
