I've heard Wukong is pretty good. Course, despite being level 30, and having played this game for about a year, I still have little idea what qualifies as a duelist. But I'm just rambling at this point. But yeah, Wukong.

Nah, mutliple champions don't need the same passive just because they fit into the same category.

I do like that we now are starting to build a whole new sub class of champions: melee swordmasters who primarily attacking using a skillshot swing of their sword.

Examples include: Riven who swings her sword 3 times in an aoe skillshot with q, yasuo who thrusts in an aoe skillshot line with q, and firoa who repositions and slashes with a skillshot q.

There's now also sion and darius who both charges up and then do an aoe swing if their axe with q, and skarner who does an aoe auto attack with q.

I'm seeing a pattern with how melee is going and I'm liking it more than the old days of 'just buy adc items and right click them'. This looks like a solid way to make strong and viable melee damage dealers who don't just buy adc items and play the same way.

I got into a 1v2 skirmish yesterday as fiora vs riven and yasuo and it was incredibly fun and satisfying to be dashing in and out of range of melee attacks while parrying riven 3d q and trying to hit vitals as i also tried to verticaly juke yasuo q's. I lost the fight in the end, but it was very fun and felt like an actual sword battle.

This new direction really delivers on the 'skilled swordsman fantasy' is what I'm getting at.
