Meddler claimed that Wukong will receive some sustain due to his nerfs. Where is it?

After having 8.16 launched, Meddler, pretty much on behalf of the Riot Balance Team, said this approximately a month ago and it went like this:

  **_"Wukong, however, has been hit pretty hard by the combination of direct nerfs and Rune changes. We'll see whether he stabilizes before potentially making changes to him (burst threshold changes add a brief but noticeable relearning period). If he remains as weak as he's currently looking we'll want to do something for him, likely in a way that doesn't add burst damage back (so something like sustained damage, tankiness, regen etc)"_**

Yes, Wukong did receive a buff. But it does not give him anything mentioned above to make him better (sustained damage, tankiness, regen). They buffed his attack speed damage, which does not really benefit Wukong at all since his laning phase is one of the worst in the game due to his outdated kit.

As a Wukong player, I do agree that his burst damage was not deserved when the release of came out, and power-spiked Wukong's damage to a stupid amount for a champ with a click-and-delete (outdated) kit. However, Riot may have gone too far with the nerfs. They first nerfed his go-to rune, Electrocute, hard, nerfing his already-weak early game. Then, Riot nerfed his (one of) his go-to item, . What else can make this worse? Buffing the tanks and a lot of other champs that Wukong can win against. (this may be because they did need those buffs, but it still puts Wukong in a worse position)

I do not know how Riot plans to add any of the points mentioned above to Wukong because the only way to do that is with at least a rework. Wukong was queued with a Rework but he was removed from the list since China, who right now contains the almost half of the League population does not want Wukong to be reworked since they like how he is since his kit is based on the tradition of the demigod Wukong from "Journey to the East"

Just because as a Wukong player, once you pick up , , and grants you the ability to instantly one shot ADCs in the mid-late game does not mean that Wukong deserves to not receive any buffs that would benefit him in lane or the jungle. If Wukong were to be behind just by a little bit, would be equal to be behind by a lot. Hence his R, Cyclone, grants him the outstanding teamfight ability, does not work well if he is behind. Why? _Because he will be will be dead before he can do to the enemy team. _
