Can Wu get a Passive Now?

~~Title.~~

Okay, people want content. So, here's content.

He doesn't really have one.

He can sometimes sort of be tanky. But that's it. It is an incredibly lackluster passive, especially given all of the changes made to the game including champion remakes and releases that have introduced entirely new mechanics to the game.

I am not asking for Wu to be made stronger. The dude's strong as fuck.

What I want is something that makes playing him just a little more fun for those who play him as well as those who play alongside him.

He's a team fight champion. Maybe give him a passive that revolves around that fact. Something that really shines. And by shines, I mean something that is shiny and/or pretty to watch.

I'm conflicted... I agree, but you have to provide reasoning in the body of a post. Simply putting "^ Title." is low effort and crowds the boards.

Why not add something about how his passive is on an item already and the passive doesn't synergize or emphasize the rest of his kit in any way?

cause it's just a game. as much as some of us think we're part of a community many of us including myself think it's just a game that we download and play and don't feel the need to write a 500 word paragraph each time we think something about the game needs to be improved. we have lives to live bro and as fun as LoL is we have better things to do. thanks for understanding [slayer-jinx-catface]

I mean, okay. You get out of it what you put into it. If you put nothing into your post, people aren't likely to notice it or care about it.

It was implied already in the title :/ and evne if you aren't that experienced you could have just googled Wukongs passive and understood what he was trying to say lol

Except that it's not. Not to people who don't understand the reference.

Whatever dude if you're going to make excuses then there's no point talking to you about this.

I'm sorry, it's my fault.

I play Wukong and Sion mostly, and Riot has decreed that I am not to have a worthwhile passive. [zombie-nunu-tears]

You know what I would like them to do though? I'd like them to change the "resistances" in the passive to "movement speed" and that's it.

The power to barrel into a teamfight would be so much more valuable than what we've got. Not to mention, it's thematically relevant, Wu's supposed to be very fast and all, and it's relevant to the game since everything's been trending toward mobility for...well, years at this point.

EDIT: Hahahah barrel into a fight. Bonus Donkey Kong joke [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I'd like not to have to pick between damage and speed.

Wukong does sort of need both, and since he's a snowbally champion, he really needs to be able to pick up some of the good early-game stuff or the snowball synergy.

It's intensely uncool to have to give up the damage runes that we SHOULD be able to take just to have the speed to actually roll in and do the thing.

im not a fan with the new runes they just feel like buffed masteries like electrocute was just thunderlords but on a longer cooldown lmao.

Well, you're not wrong.

But I do like the idea of snowballing with Dark Harvest and Eyeball Collector on Wukong. A lot of the Domination tree works well for him. The only issue is, he's still got some of the most obnoxious mana costs in the game and his approach really benefits more from some kind of speed boost like Predator, which takes away from using the damage runes that work so well on him.
